Didn't fit, too many complicated problems

Would be ok if it would fit. The right side stood up normally, but the landing gear rod didn't reach the left side. The bolts are of different lengths (or at least not paired) which wouldn't be a problem if there were more threads as the hole in the frame and motor allows the bolt to continue without going into the motor. . Left side, front bolt stops too short to attach left side to frame. I have attached photos showing that the right side (sunnier side) is assembled well but the left side has issues (darker side). You may have to go to a hardware store and pick up better screws. Although the installation seems easy, there were no instructions for this crash cage and they don't seem to be available anywhere on the internet. I thought that maybe the bolt mismatch might be intentional, but without instructions I have no way of knowing. I tried to email the seller, but the email didn't arrive because "there was a problem with the recipient's email system". .The overall design seems questionable as there are only two strong attachment points in a line parallel to the ground and a chassis bar connecting the two parts. If the bike falls, it seems almost guaranteed that it will bend up or down, bending or shearing the bolts that attach to the motor.

Pros
  • Spare parts
Cons
  • Too long waiting time
