Thanks for the reminder to flush the group head.

I was a VPNSecure customer with a lifetime subscription that was canceled by them recently. I was annoyed by the experience, but I also admit that I paid about $25 IIRC and that was over 5 years ago.

I used it occasionally as a backup and it was nice to have, but I definitely got my monies worth.

Lots of solid improvements. I have an XP3 that I pre-ordered 2.5 years ago and it still works great. I’ve definitely put money in to upkeep/upgrades with better tires, brakes, brake pads, headlight, and more. It has over 550 miles on it and keeps going.

Some things I’d love to see from the standpoint of a user that actually folds their bike and stuffs it in to a vehicle…

1. 68 lbs. is heavy (yes I know they make a lite version but it’s too limited).
2. Add a catch that locks the folded halves together, makes it more secure when lifting and transporting a folded bike (I use these ROK Straps 12’-42’ Adjustable Pack Strap but having something integrated would be nice)
3. Add bump-stops or something to prevent metal on metal scraping when folded (I stick a piece of cardboard or styrofoam in between)

Fun fact: You can’t run through a campground, you can only ran cuz it’s past tents.

I know it’s a quote so not directed to you, but the fact that they didn’t put the names in the order of the acronym bothered me more than it should have.

Thanks for the additional context.
