Poorly engineered
Rating: 1 out of 5 stars
Ive received a replacement steering triangle from Newport and Im thankful for the warranty replacement -BUT- let's talk about the poor materials and design of this horrific set up. When stowed in the up position on the NK300, the lift arm and steering triangle CANNOT handle the weight. The arm will bend and the triangle will break. Combine this with the poor clamping on the main shaft make this one of the most poorly designed and manufactured motor rigs. After owning a 300 for almost 2 years I would rather spend for a torqueedo, than deal with the nonsense of this motor and it's POOR engineering
