Wait so unless trampa makes a line of hubs I’m not aware of, aren’t all of their offerings 4 pieces? (2 for spokes and two for tire carrying bit). Afaik 3ds hubs are all two pieces right? so is he saying that any hubs in the size range we use that are split into 2 pieces for tire installation are just unapologetic knockoffs of the @Trampa design??

The PKP design is not a novel design. Anyone can make a similar truck at any time and there is absolutely nothing to complain about. I didn’t hear Jens being a drama lama when Apex published their Interpretation of the PKP system that has been around for 20 years now. Someone was the first to use beltdrives and now pretty much all brands offer belt drive systems. So what…
NoSno was the first brand using PKPs.
Jens interpeted it, Apex copied that, now we offer a similar truck… and others will follow.

We’re not talking about the PKP design.

Were talking about you blatantly copying Apex here. You made these in direct response, undoubtedly.

Really, I’ve seen enough. 3+ years of anticompetitive behavior from @Trampa and crew.

You guys are one of the most toxic outfits in this industry. Your hypocrisy is in the spotlight here like never before.

You copied Scrub trucks. You copied MBS F4 bindings. You have tried to claim that square shaped ESCs (ESCapes) infringe upon your designs and threatened legal action unduly on those you perceive a threat.

Really what this is, is fear of competition. You can at least just acknowledge that you’re scared, because you act like it.

Hypocrite.

No, its about 1:1 copy work, down to the very detail. We give a f… about others making wheels. There is simply no need to copy a product down to the very detail, including non technical design aspects.

Lmaoooooo

I’d argue
The small wheel is not a novel design. Anyone can make a similar wheel at any time and there is absolutely nothing to complain about.

Can you give some examples of what you mean when you say 3ds hubs are a 1-1 copy of the megastars? Visually they dont really look all that similar imo…

This is true

This is also true and is the same for other things, like your superstar wheel which is not covered by any protection at all yet you were messaging us with vague legal threats and being a

about it.

Wrong. Jens developed some prototypes that never made it to market and we also made some prototypes that did make it to market. Jens was shown early drawings and our intentions to innovate on the design were made clear to him.

Noted. So someone could just produce decks in the same material as you now we know your supplier (not that you would want to) and you would be cool about that would you?

ha! lets be serious. NoSno invented it, Jens innovated it, Apex further innovated it and you copied it due to our success with it.

I mean, you couldnt even name it uniquely… TRAMPA IR = TRAMP AIR - its just so hypocritical its beyond words.

If you care so much about the stupid wheels then go after the manufacturer, not people reselling them for the convenience of people that are going to buy them anyway

Besides, why have you just noticed this? These wheels have been available for at least a year, maybe even more. You only care because Apex is reselling them for our convenience so we don’t have to wait for extra shipping time

They even improved them with their own mid-hub

Can’t be touched in China. But a UK reseller :thinking:

Sigh…

It just feels so hypocritical that they came after Apex for the wheels and then released this truck that is basically the same exact thing, even square mounting profiles

It feels like Trampa is the china clone now lol
