My friend is the head engineer at Commencal and I know Max quite well too. Friends in the right places. I've done a video on the META SX DJI too on the channel. Not sure if you had seen it?

Perhaps I was misinformed, but I had thought that one of the nice things about Bafang was their parts availability and support. I guess that is a little different than the tech support and software quality that you are mentioning, but there are so many stories about people with big brand motors that need some minor part to have their function restored, yet the motor maker can't/won't sell the consumer the necessary part, that I'd imagined Bafang could actually be advantageous in those circumstances.

The parts availability to fix/replace it yourself is definitely a positive. Support isn’t necessarily per-se, because you can’t even usually deal with Bafang directly at all, it would have to be through whoever sold you the motor, which is most likely a large distributor in China who obviously isn’t going to be able to help much troubleshooting.
What’s not so great is the terrible software quality and noise with the M560 motors. They just seem to make some weird decisions with their releases and make you wondering what they were thinking when they let something out of the factory. Their motors are pretty reliable, but dealing with the issues around lack of good documentation, ordering everything from China, and sometimes only having third party battery options depending on the frame, it all just feels a bit messy.
still think LC is the maker?

Yep, whoever actually owns the factory that makes the LC frames is. As someone pointed out, LC is likely just the distributor and the the company name of the actual factory that produces them is likely someone else, but they’re clearly somehow related.
I think the big thing is we would like to know the factory it's made in , (what other Brand MTB frame sets does that factory produce) and the story behind the TeeWing branding and team ! Asking for a friend.....Hi everyone! Andi suggested we make an account and get involved with this thread. We're currently making updates to our website and will be adding a complete list of authorized Teewing Bikes dealers and distributors, this should be added to the website soon and will allow you to purchase your Teewing Bike with complete peace of mind.
We've had a lot of requests about a frameset only option, and it's something we are considering, but don't currently offer. We will make updates to the website if this becomes an option.
To address the comments above, we do not have a cooperation with LightCarbon. They do not manufacture our frames.
We're really excited to be here and part of the EMTB Forums community. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments, and we hope to see you on the trails
Between Amflow and Teewing it seems like we are headed down the Chinese copy-cat road for a while. The Amflow basically copied a bunch of designs and came up with a really solid bike. This Teewing thing also looks super cool but they basically copied the old GT bike frame. Both took some solid engineering but let’s face it, they were fast tracked on the initial design. This is all good for the consumer because both these bikes are priced in affordable ranges. I think this shows that at least for the time being MTB designs have hit a wall. Sure bikes like Crestline and a few others are very innovative with their latests stuff but they have several problems. They are basically expensive boutique bikes and distribution is limited. The bigger problem is when fitted with similar kits they don’t perform any better except MAYBE in the hands of top level riders, even then not so sure.
Sure seems that way, along with the "turbo force" name, surprisingly

As someone else had pointed out it’s also extremely similar to the Fuel EXe.

One of my local bike shops just got Teewing bikes in stock. It looks like you can buy either the full bike or just the frame.
The prices are in swedish kr . For a chinese bike its not that cheap

Got a link please?
That is very expensive for a teewing, it is much cheaper in the US.
What was the price on the Flux Pro, it's covered?

The pro is 100 000 swedish kr witch is 11317 dollar.
Yeah, they're probably a bit cheaper in the US. But I agree that it's a bit pricey regardless; sure, it has an Avinox motor, but for a Chinese bike...

Wow, yeah the Pro is ~$7500 in the US so it's a LOT cheaper then in Sweden. No way I would pay over $11k for one.

TBF, all their prices may be inflated due tax structure. So the question really is compared to say a SC, Trek, Giant, etc how’s the pricing.
