    Jeff is a great asset to the company and all around awesome! He was the rep who helped you out at the front desk at the shop and set people up for test rides at the El Segundo location and on top of that taking time to provide people with information about the company on his own channel!

    The acting CEO is sincere and honest. I sincerely hope a company out there would buy them out. Unfortunately, from an Investor’s point of view, from the outside looking in, it’s difficult to invest money to a company with no LEGAL owner. Really, best of luck to you guys. My advice, hear me out, it’s against your decision, but file for Bankruptcy, right? Start over again with NEW investors, then RE-BRAND the company and CHANGE your manufacturer, hopefully with a new manufacturer with 💯 transparency.

    I’m not surprised the “50% restocking fee” didn’t come up. I still don’t understand why the restocking fee is so high. I just wish they added this on there checkout saying “wait time will be longer then expected, and if you get tired of waiting we can only refund you 50%”

    My RCR has the single greatest dollars-to-smiles ratio of any purchase I have ever made by orders of magnitude, and Ive tried drugs! It makes me so sad to see them fall apart, they made something so magic. I'm never going to let mine go...my baby is gonna get more miles than Theseus' ship before I'm done with it. I'll wind the core myself when its time...

    • @MadMikeBikes

      He said he doesn't know when the CTY2 will leave China and has no idea if the RCR'S are even being built yet. So if you ordered an RCR it's gonna be a couple of months to build them and a couple months in transit and customs. So you're looking at a 6 month wait on top of the time you've already been waiting, and hopefully they don't go bankrupt before then..Sondors all over again

    Great fun Bike (even at 50 mph after 2.5 yrs.) All the best to all of you, your passion project, and your wealthy sponsors. My first bike was a Brammo from Oregon and this fun bike failed electronically after 5 yrs. I gave it away. It ended up sold in pieces. Thank you Onyx so much for filming this. The passion is transparent. The Onyx community is very alive.

    Wow I really hope they don't go under. Such a beautifully made bike. Hopefully they can get out of whatever contract they have with the manufacturer because clearly that is what is really holding them back and well I guess poor decisions made in the past. If I had one I would promote the F out of this bike. It's worth saving.
