Dear Backers,
After a very busy working over-time during Chinese New Year, we finally achieved something. Although far less than we expected, it was not easy. Our collaborators and our team tried their best.
By now, we have completed more than 100 Blizwheels. They are about 40 Standards, 60 Pros, 5 Airs and 2 Lites. Please refer to the following of the new Pros. Please notice that it is different from the e-scooters in the photo of our last update. Last time, most of Blizwheels are Standard version (Folded Flat). But this time they are all Pros (Not Folded Flat). So please don’t say we use the old scooters to take a new picture.
We’ve already sent some confirmation emails to the backers who ordered Standard version. Tomorrow, I’ll start to send emails to “Pro backers”. If you haven’t received the confirmation email, please be patient because we follow “First Order First Ship” Policies. As Kickstarter backers are at least 10 days earlier than Indiegogo’s, we will complete the shipments to Kickstarter backers first, and then the Indiegogo’s.
Some people may say why we are so slow, so let me explain the details.
1) We received the aluminum parts on 18th Jan.
2) The assembly line was off for 3 days due to Chinese New Year. It is the extreme case we can do, because usually the other small factories take two weeks off or more. Even for some very large factories, they often take at least 7 days off.
3) There are new problems during the assembly procedures. And it took much more time on adjusting and fixing, than assembly itself.
4) Although only 100+ have been completed, we are about 35% of completed of 500 units. Some unfinished products have been completed. For example, the parts in the following pictures are in progress, though they haven’t become to the final products yet.
I understand some backers are very anxious, especially when I reply to their messages or comments not in time. If I miss your comment or message, please send an email to [email protected]. Everything is late but still moving forward, so please be patient. The air shipping service is still available, for US/EU/Canada. Again, please don’t put us, because we are pushing ourselves at a very high level. More pressure to us won’t make it faster.
Thank you again for all your support!
Leo Liu
