I checked tracking this morning and looks like a Monday delivery date. To be continued............

**JerryHawk250** · 05-05-2023, 08:48 AM

Update: Who said an electric bike can't travel long distances? It left Ontario, CA on Tuesday and is now in Kansas City, MO getting it's battery charged.

It is still scheduled to be in New Orleans on Monday. My guess I'll see it on Tuesday or Wednesday as they will have to put it on a Tailgate Lift truck for delivery. I already have it insured so i can get registered and tagged. It cost a whole $13 a year through Geico.

**JerryHawk250** · 05-08-2023, 08:55 AM

Update: Looks like it got delayed in Little Rock, AR over the weekend.

Status: In Transit
YOUR SHIPMENT IS AT LITTLE ROCK, AR AND IS LOADING TO NEW ORLEANS, LA.

LOL. I'm not sure why they went with ABF freight this time. R&L has always been reliable and on time. Most important is i hope it arrives undamaged. R&L always took care of the other bikes they delivered.

**JerryHawk250** · 05-08-2023, 03:09 PM

All these delays are doing is making me spend more money. I've been binge watching E Vader upgrade videos. I was surprised that there are a few inexpensive mods that will give it more torque and increase speed by 15mph.

Subbed and patiently waiting for the full review.

I'm patiently waiting for my bike. Bike is still sitting in Little Rock and now the delivery date is Thursday. Not Impressed with ABF.

**JerryHawk250** · 05-10-2023, 08:31 AM

The bike has made it to New Orleans and has today as the delivery date. Possibly Bike day.

Deckard_Cain · 05-10-2023, 10:33 AM

Looking forward to your thoughts on this one.

I'd like one myself, but the out of box 35mph top speed and limited range really irk me for the cost of it.

I'm cautiously curious if it really is 2000w as well. I highly doubt it, but possible I suppose, limited then by the controller.

I've done my homework on the motor. 1980w. It's a QSmotor which most guys upgrade to. The shunt mod will get it to 50+ mph. The stock controller which is rated for 50A and motor can handle more than the stock settings. Stock setup uses less than 30A. There are several guys that have done the mod and had no issues.

I'll also be looking into upgrading to 72v 40ah Lithium battery. Stock batteries are six 12v 20ah seal lead acid.

Well bummer. ABF is telling me they can't make residential tailgate delivery which is a bunch of BS. I let Venom know this and these said the same thing. BS. They paid for tailgate delivery and going to light a fire under there butt. Bike has already been delayed several days. ABF told me they could deliver on Friday if I could meet them somewhere like a truck stop or business. As of right now I have them schedule to deliver to my office. I'm sure Venom will raise enough hell they will find a way to deliver to my house.

Don't let Yammie Noob find out Venom has problems with their shipping companies!

Just found out from Venom. It will be delivered to my house.

That will teach them to mess around with my new bike.
