All this is really sad to hear. They have supplied a lot of kits to a
lot of folks in the past. I think they started up about 20 years ago.
I wonder what has changed recently, since they were quite good in the past.
Again, it is really sad to hear that folks are not getting the parts
they have paid for. I feel very lucky that this has never been my
personal experience.
Let me list a few the EV parts suppliers that I have dealt with
personally over the years and had 100% satisfaction with:
EVParts <http://www.EVparts.com>
KTA Services <http://www.kta-ev.com/>
Manzanita Micro <http://www.manzanitamicro.com/>
Kelly Controllers <http://www.kellycontroller.com/>
EVolve Electrics <http://www.evolveelectrics.com/>
Ebikes (Cycle Analyst SOC meter) <http://www.ebikes.ca/drainbrain.shtml>
Jim Husted (Motor magician) <http://www.jimerico.net/>
This is only a _partial_ list of the many great folks I have dealt
with, but I wanted to let you know that the good guys far outnumber
the "problem" vendors for EV parts. I think it is important that you
all hear about the many many folks that have made the effort to
provide good customer service.
