Prototypes of new inventory arrived today

We ran out of bike seats back in April and more are being made as we speak. We're also having more backrests made, as well as mass-producing the ebike pegs for the first time. Prior to this, all of the ebike pegs have been regular pegs, customized by a local machine shop.

The first set of backrests were made by a different factory from the one that makes the bike seats. However, for this order, the bike seat factory decided they wanted to make the backrests as well. So they needed to put together prototype samples of the backrest as well as the ebike pegs. These samples just arrived today, and everything looks great.

Now that we've had a chance to review the samples in person and they meet the spec requirements, the factory can move forward with mass production of both the backrests and the ebike pegs.

The backrests that are being made will be exactly the same as our first order. With the ebike pegs though, we've made some improvements. We've added a "nut" on the end of the pegs that will make it easier to tighten them down with a wrench (since these serve as the axle nuts as well as pegs). ​

Now that manufacturing has begun with the backrests and the ebike pegs, it will take them about a month to finish up, then they'll be shipping them off to us, ready for purchase! I'll provide a firm date on delivery as soon as I receive it from the factory.
