Cracked ADV1 wheels

ADV.1 Matt

memorylasts -

Thank you for the questions!

On the TUV - we had the certificates signed 2 weeks ago when our German dealer was in town (ADV.1 Now Official TUV Registered Manufacturer | ADV.1 Blog). So the testing, paperwork, contracts, etc are all signed and approved. But the delay from our dealer getting back to Germany, submitting the paperwork to TUV, and having the documentation included into their database appears to take awhile.

It makes no sense for us to lie about TUV, knowing each thread about this is getting indexed in google for years to come. We fully expect you to be able to search on TUV.com soon to find us registered there. We just have no control on their internal process for adding things into their database.

About our Engineer - he has a full engineering degree. We don't just find any bum on craigslist to come in and engineer for us. Tom originally engineered for MHT and we just hired him on full time from MHT. We just wanted to stop directly replying to everyone's comments as it seem to just add fuel to the fire and in doing so it left the person in question searching for a conspiracy.

Hope that answers your questions!

I hadn't looked at the links earlier but just did glance at the first one.



I had originally thought that there was damage from hitting a bump, which would most likely damage the tire and the barrel first. Then possibly damage the hub/spoke. However this is completely different..... This wheel was "barely" holding on.... like a finger still attached by a small piece of skin. Glad the guy and his family didn't have it come off completely at highway speeds.
