Guess where it was in China. Brb gonna go cry. Okay not really but still. No damage report or anything yet, all we know is that the containers were there. Our parent company has already filed an insurance claim.

Also no we didn’t ship anything explosive, it was electric scooters. I’ll upload the design some other time.

Yea and actually a lot of improvements have been made since then. So the bikes will look better. First shipment was really rushed.

Fuuuu, I can’t SR20 up in here ….

(just got done with updating the body work with way less exposed fasteners, and its intended for businesses not individuals. Keep that in mind when judging).

OK, Milky. Starting to think you made this up since you told us you would show what it was a while back and still nothing.

EXPOSED FASTENERS? It’s crap. (I’ll go back to the FP now.)

ITS NOT HOW ITS SUPPOSED TO LOOK!! Were a start up and can’t afford injection molding yet :( …… But the new body panels are going to be much better. Just sent the files out this week to the plastic company.

The comment section has changed desert dog. I am no SR20-er.

Lol a good story.

Sorry, I was hoping to make a callback to the C7 exposed fastener kerfuffle on the FP from a while back. Your scoot looks cool, although I’m having a hard time seeing where feet go on it. One of the renderings has a floorboard, but the photos make it look like that hump goes to the edge now.

Dammit ….. thats actually hilarious.

Yea I got the reference, just trying to defend myself. But …

Later ones will have pegs for the rear passenger.

And Brazil, go figure.

Ah. That’s much clearer. Are the pegs going to be external, or molded into the bodywork? It’s pretty cool looking; the strong horizontal upper body line reminds me a little of my favorite scooter, the M80/85 Honda Juno.

The exposed fasteners aren’t bad. What’s the MSRP on one of these bad boys? Like, say, if it fell off the back of the truck at your US facility...

I feel terrible because I found that funny.

Crap that’s a huge counter balance.

External pegs, but will fold under the crease on the white panel. But thanks!

No idea on fell-off-the-back-of-the-truck price, but we charge just under $10k. Really though they’re all sold as a package with the solar charging station. Which then gives you power back, so its tricky.

But the exposed fasteners are bad! Thats why its changing soon.

I did. I operate bobcat skidsteers and forklifts to pay for school but in my life I’ve never seen a forklift so big.
