Dzlchef Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Wow! That would be a big blow for Kingsong given that Gotway basically gave them a ton of potential sales with the Nikola debacle. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Component changes need to be validated. Making late charges for perceived minor benefits is risky. In disciplined product development we go through proto, EVT, DVT, and PVT (mini production run) phases, with testing and review at the end of each phase before we can move to the next. Here's a site that explains the methodology: https://blog.bolt.io/the-illustrated-guide-to-product-development-part-4-validation-1b5ab3aeaf35 Edited June 23, 2019 by Jon Stern 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not too worried about a delay. Rather they take their time to get it right. I'd take quality control over production speed anytime. 6 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've already had to send mine in and get the board replaced.. I love it tho despite all the issues.. It has the best flow I've felt yet and I've ridden all the new wheels except the v10f.... so i guess i am satisfied with my wheel right now and i suppose it would be different if i was in need of a new one. I have the 16s and the v8 as backups to the nikola. ... but my nikola rides like a dream.. i go up some pretty long steep inclines on my ride home from work and she goes up them with absolutely no problem.. it feels like she's begging for more .. I'm constantly trying to get done with what I'm doing so i can go ride my nikola so i guess i can't really comment on the whole early adopter thing i just don't think id do it again .. Like your videos btw stephen i wish i could get over to the uk to ride with ya . keep on gliding Edited June 23, 2019 by Lucas Alexander Oliver Sp 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 😉 On the other hand some of us don't pust the wheel to its limits nor request move move speed as ultimatum for buying a wheel. Had people not demanded 50kmh speed I think it would be unlikely KS would have change motor. However speculation... I rather they sort out as many problems as possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I do need my head examined... from my perspective, I preordered the Raptor 2.0 in December 2017. While waiting I ordered and received, the Backfire2 and Ranger X1. Then in September 2018, Enertion said hey we have the 2.1 ready you can upgrade if you are willing to wait. 20% restock fee if I cancel my order. So, I waited till Feb 2019 to get the Raptor 2.1, Yes, that's 1 year and 3 months of waiting and fully paid for. I should be shot. At least eWheel is not asking for the full amount upfront and I can get my money back any time and it is only a 2 month ish wait and one year warranty in the U.S. KS16X is $600 more than KS16S. I figured I don't need a collection of Wheels like I did with the eSkateboards. Only getting ONE.

LOL Good luck with that Though the 16X is going to be a perfect allrounder wheel, so you may have a relatively low urge to get more wheels. But lower than very high might still be too high to resist I recommend an mten3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
