Grand Opening NOW!!

[Riley Hughes]

Riley,
I did not intend to ever get into this kind of discussion and will not do so in the future any more than I absolutely have too. Your post however does require some response.
First we were not paid one penny for the research, development, design, or original associated manufacturing costs by any one, at any time, or any place. All the designs are ours and ours alone. I hope that is clear enough.
Next with regards to our relationship with any customer past or current, we are not going to discuss those relationships in an open forum; frankly it is none of anyone’s business except ours and those customers.
What we did was recognize a need for high quality parts at more affordable prices, and, that we were in a unique position to fill that need. I am not sure what you meant by “rider based” company. In today’s business world you need talent, knowledge and experience from all aspects of the business you are in. That includes manufacturing, design and engineering, accounting, business operations management and customer relations and especially in this industry, rider involvement. We believe that we have put together an organization that handles all these elements.
As to the rider involvement, if you have been keeping up with the thread on SR we have just finished what we believe was an unprecedented testing protocol that involved a broad spectrum of riders from all over the world. We have already made some of the changes that our testers indicated that they would prefer. More may be incorporated in the future generations of our parts. We are constantly reviewing and encouraging input from everyone even riders outside of our test group of riders and those who have already purchased our parts.
I hope this answers your questions.

not trying to argue, just wondering. if lucky didn't pay you then why would you design a scooter deck for them? obviously they paid you enough to manufacture the lucky evo deck. did you design that original deck? also, they are your designs because you changed them ever so slightly from the lucky evo deck? phoenix, tsi, blunt, lucky, zg, they all have their own unique designs. that's what i'm talking about
edit: also you only tested the parts for like, a month? a few months? how long?

 

[Devin Parker]

theyre parts are pretty much like lucky, and lucky parts are some of the longest lasting parts on the market, PLUS they made LUCKYS parts, so they know they will last, therefore they would not need to test them very long? idk just thinking

Riley,

I am sorry if my reply came off as arguing, that was not the intent.

However, you are asking about our relationship with our customers past or present, again we not going to discuss any of our business relationships with anyone except the customers themselves. To be as clear as possible, we designed the original CNC milled 2 piece deck, so using your logic you could argue that all the others actually slightly changed our design.

You refer to our I Beam deck as a slight design change when in fact, from an engineering stand point it is a drastic change. We have completely altered the “load concentrations”, repositioned material and lightened it up.

You also you asked about the testing process. For example the I-Beam Decks have been in development and testing for over a year, both in house and with riders. You could add almost another year to get the material just right for the OMG.

[Riley Hughes]

okay, i understand that you dont want to talk about what happened with lucky.a what material do you use?

 

[Victor C.]

hey vertx, are you guys making bars like the prybars? also, will you manufacture different color wheels? maybe white, purple, blue, red, just for some suggestions

 

[vertx scooters]

Riley,

The VertX Extreme is built of 6061. We are not going to disclose the OMG. lol Let the guarantee speak for itself.

VertX

[ment2bzer0]

Sorry but I have to say that I am loving the product and prices, now for me it is between district parts or vertX. hmmm, so much thought has to go down.

Ohk after reading the post on inside by the owner of Lucky.

I take back my apology. You have seen lucky, the company you make parts for, that they designed making a shit tone of money. They part ways with you because they are doing well and move into a bigger factory.

So what you have done is thought Hold on a tic, i have all the designs why not make a whole new company, make the same parts as lucky but cheaper and then you see the $ signs.

And the biggest dog move of all is that your patenting them.

1. make parts for another company
2.other company leaves for a better oportunity
3.steal designs of other company and sell cheap
4.PROFIT!

 

[Kieran Mayhew]

Well i feel like a total dick head haha. I had no idea i think i owe you an apology. Sorry.

But just to add something. Keiren go eat a fucking cock meat sandwich you peice of shit.

Awwww you mad? I called you dumb because you flamed the company when you didn't really know what you were talking about, this wasn't a necessary response to be honest. For someone sponsored by Blunt, a company that thousands of kids look up to, you aren't the greatest role model out there.

As far as I know, VertX was the company that designed and produced all of Lucky's parts. They didn't steal anything, it was already theirs. And they are patenting their own original designs, which make major improvements to Lucky's parts while still keeping them much less expensive. I read the post on inside, it really didn't seem like anything besides a lame attempt to discredit VertX, which didn't even fit into the generalization of cheaply produced and untested low-quality parts. VertX is the same quality as Lucky, if not better.

 

[Kroto]

How much would it be for G-bar oversized, SMX v2 Zero offset and a FSA pig i got a ridicules amount for shipping Is it meant to be so expensive its 293 for shipping to AUS?

 

[vertx scooters]

Kroto,
Please PM or email us your shipping address and we will get you the acutal shipping cost for your request. We are trying to work the bugs out of the shipping quotes being published but it is a lot bigger challenge than meets the eye.

 

[mitchwashere53]

r dubya, why on earth would anyone pay an unknown company that knows nothing of scooters to design and produce parts for one guy?

Also why would someone even start a company without any product ideas and designs? Exactly, you wouldnt.

Also if they did design them, why take action now? why not when the first started?

 

[J SWEETS]

Mitch is right guys. Lucky parted ways to move into a bigger factory and for a better oppurtunity.
Lucky designed and these guys produced.
Now that lucky parted, these guys are making some quick cash by throwing a old, well established company under the bus.

 

[R-Dubya]

If they wanted some quick cash, they wouldn't have improved any of the designs. If you think these guys are simply making Lucky parts and selling them for cheap, you obviously haven't been listening to a word they're saying or looked at the parts for yourselves. What they did was take the basic designs that they were making for Lucky and improved them drastically. Threaded inserts in all their forks to replace starnuts, the I beam deck which has major structural differences than an Evo deck, the OMG deck which is warrantied for SIX MONTHS because of its improved alloy construction, the Whisper brake, INTEGRATED HEADTUBES, the list goes on. If you show me anywhere that you can get even one of the parts I just listed from Lucky, then I will happily retract my statement. But the fact that these guys are doing an honest part to provide the community with high quality parts that are extremely affordable and they're recieving nothing but criticism disgusts me. This is the kind of crap that drives manufacturers away from the scootering community. If you really feel that strongly, just don't buy from them. I'll happily enjoy my VertX parts while you guys bitch and moan just because their parts look the same.
