For those of you reading this who love these kinds of things, pull out the popcorn gifs.
It’s not slow an inefficient if it’s building up suspense to a product. The longer you make someone wait, the more they tend to want it.
They have several prototypes out there that people have reviewed, they say that it feels and acts high quality. That’s just the prototypes, and everyone with a brain knows that German manufacturing takes it up a notch.[quote=“cantstopme, post:66, topic:2173”]
Considering that they are asking 1600€ for this damn thing, how is that generous?

It’s generous because it in itself guarantees high quality batteries, which are nearly impossible to find. 2 Years is a VERY long time for lithium ion batteries to last without any problems. [quote=“cantstopme, post:66, topic:2173”]
oh cmon, this concept of a drive system was pretty much inevitable. If it wasnt Mellow, someone else wouldve come up with it.

Hub motors, true. But you are missing the other BIG features of their product. For one, they still brake on full charge. You can sync up 2 of them for a 4 wheel drive system. INNOVATION.[quote=“cantstopme, post:66, topic:2173”]
Besides these companies that compete with Mellow had to build theirs from scratch aswell, or do you think Mellow sent them a sample?

I don’t think mellow sent them a sample I think they took one look at the schematics that mellow showed to prove there design and said “hey, we can rip that off and sell a crappy, unreliable version of it to make a few bucks!”
I know exactly what I am putting together. We don’t babble about it, we help others with less knowledge learn about the things that they are putting together. The whole point is to spread the movement of doing things yourself to learn about it instead of blindly buying a product. I’m not a fucking noob, I know exactly what I am buying. Also, you are completely off your rocker assuming that we buy everything. People are building decks, controllers, motors, and more. Look at this topic. Think we’re all noobs now? I guess you probably do, since you’re too delusional to even realize it.
