Absolutely love Boyscout. Over the years it's really turned from a poison oak minefield into a tight and playful amusement park. Had a blast on my Voima there before it was stolen in Tahoe.
Now if if show me videos of you riding the Crack, well then then the broken swingarms totally make sense.
I got my Sonni yesterday, so there could still be some hope for some folks bike delivery. It depends on the work week that Pole commit to for work week assembly. Mine was the 3rd week of March.
Otherwise, customers waiting are bankruptcy protection mode (see above) where basically things are...
Agreed. I'm hoping for Chapter 11-style reorganization. This would allow the company reemerge with zeroed out equity shares and any unsecured lenders taking a hit first. As to the leadership, Leo might have to take back seat but remain on as a lead designer. A similar structure would exist if...
Starting this thread for Pole EMTB owners who will now have to deal with support, parts availability, repairs, etc. now that Pole appears to no longer be a going concern as a business in its current state. My guess is that most owners will continue to own and enjoy their existing bikes into the...
It's important know how bankruptcy laws work in Finland. In the States there's Chapter 11 and Chapter 7. Is this reorganization or liquidation? I really, really, hope is the the former. That way there would still be some semblance of the company that could still exist, whether in its own...
To American riders who have received their bikes this year: have the batteries been shipped separately? If so, is Pole using the same carrier and shipping method? Any battery shipment complications arrisen?
It’s wonderful to finally see an actual belt drive setup on the Voima. I have to say your bike definitely looks the part out there in Switzerland and hints of a Pole MGU setup in the future.
You also probably have the only single-speed Voima out there. I agree that you should play with some...
It's been awhile, but I think there was video post from Leo that intimated a whole 1KG weight drop from Voima!!! I lifted an Onni prototype at Sea Otter 2023 and was stunned at how light it was in mullet config, especially compared to the Vikella that was nearby. Dimensionally the frame and...
This is absolutely fascinating!
I can see almost almost NO chain growth! Did you fully articulate the suspension in this video? I mean the tensioner is hardly doing any work at all - any less movement you could almost get away with a fixed tensioner. Do tell us what the actual chain growth...
