I'd have kept my dirtbike if it was truly streetable, like your 350. Riding a 300cc 2T on pavement ain't much fun. Areas to ride dirtbikes are getting fewer and farther between, unless you want to camp out in a cow pasture and zig-zag/hare scramble through tree lines. FWIW, FL has a ton of really cool dedicated MTB riding areas with some serious double black diamond single track and some really good elevation changes. Our eMTBs are welcome on all of them.
We are on the leading-bleeding edge of this technology and as a result we're involved in a lot of the ugly facets of the learning curve. With my 2T, I had enough spare parts or parts available within a couple hours drive to keep me going even if I nuked the motor. I didn't expect the exact same from Shimano but I did expect MUCH more resiliency from such a major manufacturer.
I believe Fezzari will do whatever is within their reach to get me back on the bike ASAP and I really hope it won't be 23 days... Expecting more info soon from them.
I’m in Cali so no plate for me! It’s a 350 sxf. Yeah sorry didn’t mean to imply riding not good or demanding in Florida... just not huge mountains and bike parks at elevation if someon lived at base of alps.. well at least there’s that.
my 350 has been flawless, it’s a 2012! If they can make these motors on Ktms that hit 13000 rpm and survive they should be able to make an ebike motor that will make it past 1000 miles! That’s just criminal.
Wishing you best on getting your bike sorted.
