Popular Post Marty Backe Posted April 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2019 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. 14 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big surprise but if you have lost confidence in GW it is best to transition to the manufacturer that you feel most comfortable with. 29 minutes ago, Marty Backe said: Fortunately I have the KS14S and KS18XL.

Unventor Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzlchef Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hsiang Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unventor Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 @Marty Backe I told you that ypu need to buy 2 of each. One to show at @Marty Backe museum of EUCs and on to ride/rent out to visitors. Maybe a 3rd gor spare parts...😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post who_the Posted April 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2019 Oh really? Too bad, maybe the 60 mph, 118 volt, 2750wh Monster 2 that Gotway just announced over on Weibo will change your mind: Gotway Monster 2 announcement and 60-mph video clip 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yourtoys7 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 April 1st. joke, @Marty Backe does Not drink or...... he Finally came to his senses Hmmm.? I've been thinking about 18XL for a while now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason McNeil Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) 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? Edited April 1, 2019 by Jason McNeil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
