Why Shouldn't I buy a Teewing Flux?

I have a Flux Large Frame on order and have been doing research here. I've seen a lot of mixed opinions and watched the available videos, but I'm looking for more. If you know of any other good videos or reviews, please share them!

For me but we are all different this part of the bike make that I can never buy this bike look like a Louis XVI furniture

if it was simple flowing design like red line I would start looking at it

I'm also not a fan of the Propain design but at least their the design is dictated by the Suspension setup. So I can understand it even if it's not the most beautiful to me. The Flux has gimmick like Louis XVI chair that has no reason to be their so many brand design this suspension set up so much more smooth and nice. But some love those kind of old style furniture. Not me. The OP ask why he should not buy so I answer why if I was at is place I would never ever buy this bike. But that's just an advice lost in so many other'

It looks much better in real life. Pictures don do the bike any favors.

I’m likely to buy one of these soon - as my first eMTB.
Just for an old man (Wrong side of 60…) to ride flow trails/single track etc.
More bike than I need I’m sure. (Like my current Reign Pro 0)
I figure I don’t need less travel and extreme light weight with a motor.

Favourite type of track - 60yo body, 14yo brain.

The idler is AUD$69. And in stock at stores in Sydney.

I can also get that bearing for AUD$10.

I understand that if you are expecting a LBS to do all the work on your EMTB. It can be more expensive. But there is a video showing how to remove the idler. It just requires an Allen Key. It's very simple.

Am I correct in thinking that you are saying your local Teewing dealers in Sydney already stock spare idlers? If so, that is pretty awesome! That is the sort of small part that, while simple in concept, could totally take a bike offline if you can't get a spare readily. Given Avinox spare parts availability is somewhat questionable already, I was worried about also adding Teewing proprietary parts to the mix.

On a related note, does anyone in the USA already have a Flux, and if so, how has your initial user experience been? I saw some references to a recall affecting early Large size frames in one of the threads on here, but was unclear what the issue actually was. Can anyone clarify that for me? Happy to hear about user experiences from outside the USA too, but since dealer service is such a big part of this, I was just particularly interested in how folks in the USA were finding them.
