Tired of the Gotway Nonsense - I'm Moving to KingSong Bigtime


Marty Backe

Recommended Posts

I know this will come as a surprise to some of you, but I'm burned out on Gotway. Their perpetual sloppiness in manufacturing and non-responsiveness to community feedback has finally convinced me that KingSong is the only way to go from here on out.

Fortunately I have the KS14S and KS18XL. I'm going to buy two KS16X's and will outfit one of them with a knobby tire. This will allow be to sell my two ACM2's (what a relief to finally dump these turds).

Hoping that 2019 will be the year that KingSong releases a Monster killer, then I can get rid of the Monster too.

I'll probably keep my remaining Gotway wheels, mostly to loan out to visiting riders from out of town.

Sorry to disappoint my fellow Gotway wheel owners, but I have to be honest to the community.

Big surprise but if you have lost confidence in GW it is best to transition to the manufacturer that you feel most comfortable with.

You may want to rethink your sales verbiage.. ;)

Going to be interesting how this thread develops.

Just out of curiosity how did that EUC shelves building go?

Either way this goes I hope you get a fleet of wheels you like.

Nice!  I must say that you had me wondering what happened to you  until nearly through the post. I must be slowing down in my old age.

I counted 7 out of 10 Gotway wheels in your signature; it must have taken a lot for you to make that call.

What was the issue that finally tipped the balance for you? I have been thinking about getting a Monster but am wary about their build quality for some time. Since ninbot is also out this leaves KingSong last man standing? yikes.

Surely this photo is strongest evidence that either Mr. Backe is pulling one over on us, in keeping with the April 1st tradition, or may be experimenting with some local Californian botanical pharmacopoeia. 

Crime scene: Saturday March 30th; is that a Tesla rooted to your foot?

You win. I had to throw some statement in there that would not make any sense even if the others were half-truths :)

Jason has a good eye for discerning wheel types even in crappy lighting conditions :thumbup:

Oh really? Too bad, maybe the 60 mph, 118 volt, 2750wh Monster 2 that Gotway just announced over on Weibo will change your mind:

You got me man! Although I knew it wasn't true, I thought it was going to be a related video.

:roflmao:
