Hi Riders,
Today there's a little update with a quick video from me:

And as always, you can find the summary here:
Office & Release Party
Unfortunately, we have to postpone the party by one week, to Friday, March 1st.
The reason is that we won't be able to finish the Wildfire prototype until next Monday.
Our aim is to get the prototype ready for you to drive so that you can take the first test drives in our courtyard. We therefore have no choice but to postpone the event by one week.
Sorry for the inconvenience! And of course I would be delighted if you could find time to come by next week on Friday!
Bonfire Update
Some Bonfire X customers are expecting the update and I have noticed that some customers are a little confused or disappointed that we are now building the Wildfire instead of the Bonfire Y. However, the Wildfire has no negative impact on our Bonfire customers, as we would not have been able to build the Bonfire Y as planned.
I recommend that all Bonfire watch my video and listen to my explanations.
There are limits when it comes to improving the Bonfire . We can push them to the maximum, and we are already very close with the Bonfire . And the current situation is that we can only improve the Bonfire a little more. The Bonfire will continue. We will build new components and improvements and offer them as retrofits, but we will have to postpone new products such as the Charge & Storage Tank because we cannot realize them at the moment.
What's definitely coming this year before the summer: New rear fender with LED taillight, long seat and gas struts for the rear
Survey to all Bonfire customers
During the video, an idea came to me and that is that we let our Bonfire vote. We will proceed in the same way as you vote and it is about the following decision:
Should we develop new Long Range batteries and a new battery box for the Bonfire in 2024? Every Bonfire would then have to replace their own battery box at some point, as we will only be offering the long range batteries.
Advantage: capacity could increase to up to 2.8 kWh per battery
Disadvantage: Costs will be around €4,000 for two batteries and a new box.
Or should we wait a little longer and offer long range batteries that also fit into the old battery boxes?
Advantage: Cheaper, costs around €1,000 per battery
Disadvantage: maximum capacity of 2.1 kWh per battery
Please vote here for what you think is better:

We will publish the results in the next update.
