Saw they're recruiting beta testers for the new PP6. Still salty about GPLama's PP5 test (drift, residual torque). Any deets whether PP6 actually fixed that?
Really hope they sorted it out. When's it releasing?
Hope Shane gets his hands on one. Would follow those results hard before buying.

Yeah... that's not how the Chinese manufacturers work. Ship broken, fix in the next hardware revision, tough luck if you bought early.

haven't some people speculated the drift was mainly a hardware issue?

It's already for sale on AliExpress. Cart before the horse again?

I see it listed as PP5/PP6. Might just be a rebadge with a newer software revision.
Get it in the lab already so i can order version 7.

If this is legit, it's going to change the power meter market.  It's sooooooooo cheap, if it works (GpLama) it's going to be epic!

Saw the beta call on RedNote—not officially  launched yet. Looked up AliExpress after seeing the comments: it's still just the old faulty PP5 being sold, not the PP6. Still no official release date.

on wechat group they are selecting betatesters for the PP6. I registered a few days ago, but Im not sure if they accept non chinese people.

Its on Aliexpress and for sale

Checked AliExpress, saw it, but not the official store, idk if it's legit. That shop sells everything, kinda sus.

Only on by some 3rd party sellers and not on official thinkrider store. also not listed on thinkrider website. So I would presume it's not officially launched yet. (maybe 3rd party sellers are selling beta product?)
I would wait until official product.
