Consumer Description

While operating the motorcycle on city streets at ~30MPH the motor suddenly stopped operating without warning. All accessory systems (lights, horn, alarm) continued to function, but powetrain systems stopped responding to input and no longer display status indicators: Park/Drive lights vanished from the display cluster, and motor kill switch no longer indicates its status. Throttle is non-responsive. The vehicle died in the middle of the street, surrounded by active lanes of traffic. I was left in a dangerous situation, and had to dismount the motorcycle and push it out of traffic. The manufacturer has yet to respond to my complaints. User reports on Reddit (/r/metacycle) suggest this sudden loss of power is not an uncommon problem with this vehicle.
