Bought one on Amazon because this one was a little out of my budget and it was a horrible mistake. Screws were over treated. Florks were lopsided. They offer refund but we have to pay shipping to return it. Horrible experience. Was trying to get one for my son bday in 14 days and sadly I've gotta find another. Would be dope if yall could send me one 😅 help a mom out 😭

Do you have issues with the throttle? We just got the Nova X this week and they are giving us a hard time about returning it. The box was damaged and the frame is scratched. Not sure if it’s related to shipping but the throttle is trash. It doesn’t respond initially when turning and then midway jerks forward into a wheelie even when trying to gradually increase speed. We tuned speed down but there is no option for acceleration like some other brand controllers.

I put a surron throttle and sicky mx grips on mine and a dnm 1200lb shock w/piggyback reservoir and it rides sooo much better. doesn't bottom out AT ALL. I strongly recommend it best 200 dollars u could put into it

Thanks, I used your link & got an f18 it goes faster each time I ride it more of a "me" thing ;) ordered a new throttle, so its coming Im thinking about a larger rear sprocket - sure that will slow the top speed, but climb easier (there be many trails around belly acres) so far Im liking mode 1 as in mode 2 I had to lay on the bike to keep the front wheel down while climbing. ;) Im hoping the new throttle will help control that. the silly bike likes to hit 17 & 19 oops, I was just half throttle (?) it is a bit radical as it is, just not the best control. in mode 1 [with me] it climbs just fine, smoother 12% 22% 27% up n over, less theatrics. ;) it has been a fun surprise, with each ride Im learning to be more confident in me and the bike. it is much different than my ebikes more different than dirt bikes. being mini/midi size is something this guy needs to get used to. that reverse? I thought it was just a gimmic, but it is useful & how it works is very nice.
