Put down a deposit on a 9.7 yesterday for a mid October delivery. I asked about the refund policy and they kind of said that joy riding it and returning it was not cool. I told them that given what I have read in this forum that the bike was going to have a very short leash in terms of issues...

Just ordered a 9.7 in the grey fade. Man I hope this bike works like it should.

Thought the Mars rover used Maxon motors and Harmonic Drives- the TQ references are hard to find.

I have some experience designing Harmonic Drives for use in space applications. The harmonic ring is essentially the same idea with less of a gear reduction. Harmonic drives are extremely sensitive to tolerances in assembly and temperature changes. All Ebike motors have thermal clearances...

Really tough to believe that these two companies would let these into the wild without some incredible vetting of the systems. There is no going back once you release the model. Both companies would do extensive testing beyond what is seen in the real world to establish margins that they could...

My one complaint on my Decoy is the Shimano spline interface at the crank. The cranks, to be fair, take a huge amount of ground strikes which causes them to loosen and creak. I just put on a new set of 160's (from 165) to help reduce strikes. I take it the EXe uses a different spline...

All my issues with noise revolve around the splines on the Shimano crank. I get so many hard pedal/crank strikes it causes it to shift/loosen. If you re-install the cranks it settles back down. Just bought a set of 160mm for $55 and hope that reduces the problem.

Been looking for a large 9.7. Walked into a shop in Durango and found one. Took a quick test ride and was pretty impressed....until the motor threw a code and the motor quit as I rolled into the shops driveway. Sales guy reboots the thing and it seems to be okay. I was an inch from buying it...
