Back in action, Jackson!

I hope they did fix whatever the problem was. We need to see if this machine will live or die based on its own merits, not production problems.

Would a "non-standard condition" be flames?   ;)

If you read their " update " there was ONE bike that had a " possible " issue.
Local dealers have Chargepoint CCS Chargers on property and Livewire video kiosk inside. Asked what they thought at one dealership.
" We have sold four sight unseen. Still haven't seen one yet "

I did read the update. It seemed like a huge overreaction to shut down production, but then again this is a completely new market for them. Imagine, electric motorcycles!

So, that's the first sell-through data I've seen of any sort, though it's really just hearsay at this point. It's still VERY early in the process to make any judgments, but could that be a good sign? Four pre-sells at just one dealership doesn't sound half bad.

After talking with them about Vapor Ware, I went for a nice 100+ mile ride.
