Do A Lot Of Safety...
was really hoping for this product when they announced the V2 is for sale on August 4th I put in an order for several kites and and other items on August 6th
And got a confirmation email
I checked the website a week later and saw that they are sold out and on backorder with an expected shipment...

I was pedicabbing in Hawaii from '84-'88
Those chrome steel rims are the heaviest strongest I've seen
The ones we used didn't have a flat face for a brake they looked like scooter/motorcycle rims
I've been liking the bbshd but there are a few issues
The weakest part of the unit is the clutch pawls
I ride really hard and I took out the clutch
Fortunately its an easy and inexpensive repair
I'd suggest you remove the main gear and check
Clean and re lube
