Completely resolved - or soon will be! Devries is the man of integrity I always felt in my heart he was and as so many of us feared, he was incredible ill. We're starting work on my entire project again and all is being made right!!
Hi Folks,
I've been hesitant to post this for several reasons until now but I think it's only fair that other members know what happened to my husband and I. I'm frustrated and disappointed and lost as to what to do...
About 15 months ago, I started by posting questions about eBikes. We had recently purchased one but it turned out not to be very good quality and not was advertised so I was asking for help if we should try to keep them or do a self build or something else. I made it clear that I am disabled, that we have VERY little funds, and that this was something that I desperately needed to have a positive thing to focus on while I figured out good reasons to stay in the game of life, given my disabilities, genentic condition, and chronic pain. I had several answers that helped but a particular member started conversing with us, and, in short, we became very close. This member said that we could keep the ebikes we had purchased and that he'd help us with them or that he'd donate his time to help us build something that we're more comfortable in and we'd just pay for the items. He contacted a very well respected member of this board, Chalo, to see if he'd help in some of the build up (I wasn't sure what that arrangement was but I know that Chalo was ready to help) and we had copious emails and PM's back and forth about the best configs, bikes, what motor we were getting, battery configs, controller, adding PAS, battery testing etc. This went on for a few months and we finally had everything but the battery decided on. He was doing much research on the battery and finally found a couple of options he was happy with. All this time, he knew about brain surgeries I had, other surgery and procedures, and how important this project was to me mentally and emotionally for me to gain back some of my life...but then he dropped out of ES for a time.
I called hospitals in the area, I checked the obits online in the local papers.
I seemed to have read that there was a problem with the battery order and he told me that there were some issues with the battery person coming through with what they said they would do (right before he vanished)...so I realize other people were out money, but I doubt it was this much. I had an ES member in the Austin area ask for his info so he could try to see if he was still there but I heard nothing back from them. I also heard that devries logged on once in December but hasn't been seen since.
If anyone in the Austin area is still willing to go over and see if Dean still lives at the same address, I'd be grateful. If anyone has any ideas of what to do, I'm all ears. Please visit http://www.HelpRachelBreathe.com to read about my story. It needs updating as I've had 4 brain surgeries since then and been diagnosed with a potentially fatal high pressure in my brain that some of the surgeries are trying to address. I just didn't want you to think that I was exaggerating my health issues or making them up.
If any of you have any advice, any thoughts or ideas, please let me know.
