We shipped our first customer bike!

Here is customer bike #1, being tested on our chassis dyno prior to shipping. You can see part of the battery pack exposed in the center of the bike.

After many months of work (and delays) we have shipped the first bike to a paying customer. Yay! And here is the bike ready to go on the truck:

It's actually the fourth bike we've built, the others were prototypes that we used to test ideas and work out our production processes. Here are a few more bikes partially assembled. Our next task is to work through our backlog of orders. After we finish the champagne.

  2. Guys, my respect and awe for your efforts are unbounded. How will you ever build a sustainable service network? Whew. After what happened to x-treme (german designers china mafrs bankrupt taken over redone) you are brave. We now find that even the best and latest batteries are frangile little jewels without complex management. So, the question, are these expensive, fragile, complex power systems (Propulsion is well understood), ready to compete against a gasoline motorsports market?
