What about LinnPower? That’s where they originated

Is LinnPower a subsidiary of Newbee?

Lin stole the 4gs design from newbee.

I get kinda tired of the drama. The design is definitely ‘inspired’ but it’s certainly not a straight rip.

Yeah hard to say without knowing the full story

In any case, they look interesting, and the fact of the matter is since it’s compatible with Meepo Hurricane off the bat, it’s instantly going to sell more

That’s exactly what I would say if somebody was trying to pin a “stolen” design on me :thinking:

I’m not convinced.

I came across these somehow on IG back in July. linnpowerstore. Im guessing meepo is hiring them to design/make them? Probably did their cyclone wheels too.

I know super beast had issues with their gears failing and seizing up. I kinda have a feeling with how meepo is low budget it’ll probably fail a bunch too. Along with what everyone else says, its probably loud af too

its probably loud af too

If it’s a similar 4-gear design like the Newbee drive (which is quiet af) then it’s probably actually not that loud. However as much as I am loving my gear drive, gears failing and seizing scares the shit out of me and I’m definitely suspect of a gear drive that might not have had the best testing or QC.

Cause its a render not a photo most likely. Not saying thats the case here but the typical black background generally screams render.

straightcut and helical sound very different, couple with 2 extra idle gear, it could amplify the sound by quite a lot
