My biggest complaints so far would probably be the following:
1) Size: a 14" wheel up front and 12" in the rear simply isn't going to cut it for me, so I need to upgrade to 17"/14" at least.
2) Audible Volume: the bike sounds unnecessarily loud to me with the pitch and volume increasing with acceleration. I'm not sure how or even if this can be effectively minimized at this point, but I remain hopeful there may be a setting or combination of settings on the controller that will have at least some sort of effect here.
3) No stock lighting or handlebar crossbar: The bike seems to be missing some of the most basic components you typically expect to come with any bike, especially a bike with above entry level components, but it's likely cutting these costs were necessary in order to hit their MSRP goal after adding the higher-grade components. Just be aware, you will need to purchase a headlight at minimum, but you may want a tail-light and some turn signals as well.
4) Poor controller documentation: despite the controller being relatively high end and allowing for a USB to computer connection to access a user interface where you can fine tune a wide range of settings on the bike, the documentation for VOTOL controllers in general is lacking to say the least. The specific controller in this bike essentially doesn't even exist according to the manufacturer (the specific model is not listed anywhere on their website and there is not really any model specific documentation I've been able to find for it either). This, by itself isn't really a huge deal because there are a number of other controllers that are almost identical and the documentation across those models should be mostly interchangeable. More importantly, the user interface is far from user friendly and from what I've been able to gather you'd be better off using one of the various customer-developed solutions that have been published publicly in forums and on github.
As for the price, I would definitely put a tracker on it because I've seen the price dip below $500 at least twice since I purchased mine. There are currently 2 different listings for the bike on AliExpress and you should track both, as prices change sometimes multiple times per day. You can always combine the current AliExpress sitewide promotion discount which will typically range between $40 - $90 on higher priced items, with whatever R-ak ut-en is offering for Cashback which has recently been as high as 14%. For example, right now, one of the listings is at $620, AliExpress has a $40 coupon, and RKTN is offering 6% cashback, making your total cost $545.
