Just order mine

[@Flyingaceful]

Great video! Thinking about getting one.

[@skytalon74]

Go for it!

[@Flyingaceful]

Do you think the handlebars on Billy Goat can be changed to a regular MT bike handlebars? That handlebars is too high for my taste.

[@skytalon74]

@@Flyingaceful Yes, you can. I almost changed mine to MTB ones but you'd may want to find a stem with adjustable height. I tried a stem with 90mm length at 45 degree and it was too low. I also ride MTB but think the handlebars that come with the bike are about right.

[@Flyingaceful]

@@skytalon74 Got it. Thanks again!!! 👍

[@Roadwarier9871]

Good luck getting hold of the Company if any component fails with in the twelve month warranty period no phone number no customer service...I purchased a Fold a Goat 8-9 months ago and the full twist throttle failed without apparent reason(E8 Error Code) and MR. Bryson Goodman respond was..(The warranty is for manufacturer defects. The throttle was likely broke due to the bike being dropped. The throttle has worked for 8-9 months, so something must have happened for it to stop working.).... By the way way the bike HAS NEVER BEEN DROPPED AS HE ASSumed.Yes i know I could purchase and replace new twist throttle myself the point is what if it was more serious component that took a shit and your SOL...A more reputable company would have the replacement part the next day..Honor your warranty MR. Bryson Goodman....

[@jslllppspp]

Yup, I ordered it April 17th, saying it would be shipped out end of april... Bryson after I emailed him said it would now be the week of May. (20th) its June 18th and finally got the tracking number... 2 months later... still no bike.

[@skytalon74]

did you send him pictures and or video proving it does not show any damage? If there isn't any physical damage I wouldn't presume it was dropped, agreed.

[@skytalon74]

with the higher demand now, this sounds like the norm.

[@Roadwarier9871]

No video or pictures were requested by the company I just received an e-mail the next day after posting this comment and the issue was resolved...It will take about three weeks since the replacement part is being shipped from China....Can't believe they don't stock common replacement parts..

[@OhMyJawsh]

@@jslllppsppi got my tracking number and bike arrived a week later

[@rockbiterhd]

Mine has arrived in Australia great bike every body should have one enjoy

[@skytalon74]

nice! get some good rides in!

[@Bink4]

I ordered one but Im still waiting. should be here this or next week, got me worried with all the delays I’ve been reading sometimes not even getting it! I want to write a review once it’s in my hands will post it on Reddit. R/ebikes

[@skytalon74]

Hopefully soon!

[@jslllppspp]

I liked the wolf king until it started to break left and right and rear brake never worked for shht. I even flushed out the fluid , pads... still rear brake was trash. I got the king upto 67.4 mph but it only lasted 4000 miles and had to throw it away. Not worth the investment... i have the billy goat on the way, hopefully it lasts more than 4000 miles.

[@aychfriday]

Is there way to cover the red lights on the floor Maybe with electrical tape?

[@skytalon74]

yep, the tiny LED is just under the blinker.

[@nickmorgan8434]

I really want a Billy Goat but am in the Ghostcat f2.2 price range

[@LIVEMETRIX187]

i was gonna get the ghost cat but the one i wanted sold so i got the billygoat and it’s 100% worth the few extra hundred

[@nickmorgan8434]

Yeah good choice Ghostcat is an unorganized fly by night company that says they will be taking care of you in email and 4 mth later says the same thing again plus ..I bought my bike in March ..they already fixed everything that sucks on mine and are reselling it as 3.0 ..of course not offering me the new better options(should be free)

[@darrylphillips6301]

Can you just throw some 20x4 tires on it like most of these bikes? Appreciate the vid👍

[@skytalon74]

That might be possible as long as the inside width to the rim is the same. I'd have to check that out!

[@rickymahoney6664]

I feel they should have realized that as a company, especially when these dont fit. They say they're gonna extend the fork. Why not just use 20x4 tires like every other bike? It seems like a strange business decision when they already knew this was an issue and sold them anyway

[@baggerbenn]

On the motor goat and I’m assuming any of them with the clearance issues are changing to a 20x4 front tire.

[@skytalon74]

@@rickymahoney6664 my understanding is they were all presales and they didn’t even know for sure till they got to USA. I found 25 PSI is the max up front.

[@skytalon74]

@@baggerbenn i hear they will get a wider fork.

[@LeeAyzahn]

Do you have or know anyone that has a 2024 Wired Freedom ? The reason I ask is because the battery for the Billy Goat looks very similar to the Wired Freedom's battery. And if the battery is compatible between the 2 bikes, it would be cheaper to get a spare Goat battery compared to a spare Wired battery and drop it into the Freedom.

[@skytalon74]

I do not know anyone with the wired freedom but would expect them to be different. I believe The Billy Goat battery has a 3 prong plug and WF has 4 prongs but they do look very similar.

[@LeeAyzahn]

@@skytalon74 ah ok, thanks for replying

[@darrylphillips6301]

Def not the same batteries.
