I assume as it has two connectors, and each connector is connected to one motor that it can be ran that way as well as with the adapter to run both at once

Not really impressed tbh. A stupidly high rof combined with an untested proprietary gearbox are a concern for me as it just seems like a recipe for disaster. Also I'm not a fan of the cocking handle doubling up as a fire selector, both in terms of reliability and that it's a support gun so semi auto and 3 round bursts are nothing more than gimmicks which won't be used.
Last of all that stated fps (assuming it's with .2g bbs) puts it well into section 5 firearm territory not just too hot for sites.
I think I'll pass

The videos show it running both motors. I am not sure how running just one of them would work as the running motor would have to turn the non-running motor in addition to the gearbox.

But *why* have the complexity of two motors rather than just putting one decent motor in? I mean, if both motors have the same max speed, they aren't going to make it run twice as fast. They might give more torque to pull back the spring I suppose and gain some speed that way (speed under load not being the same as unloaded speed and 2 motors sharing the load), but again, a decent brushless would probably achieve the same.

Completely forgot about that part
That's a shame, it would have been better to have a single motor and like Hatchet said, have it be better quality

Given the energy levels and rof they're quoting it looks like speed under load is a concern for them.
I suspect dropping it to uk levels you'd be running a single motor.
Running just one with the other installed wouldnt be a smart idea, one motor dragging on the other.

I'm in two minds. I like the innovation though I hope the gears are made of Thor's hammer or something robust enough to last at least a few months between servicing. I've seen a few too many problems with Well Pro to buy anything they've done so far.
That gearbox photo looks like the spring has a quick-change release so if it does come to the UK, at least the distributor or retailer can downgrade the springs easily enough to be legal and site-legal.

Ever since seeing Carrie Fisher's coke nail in Return of the Jedi, I've never been able to unsee them. I spotted it before reading your comment.see if you can spot the coke pinky

It would appear that one person (on Reddit) who has this is experincing issues with the box magazine claiming it's "hot garbage". They have since returned it to the place of purchase. It appears box mags are box mags and suck from the factory - sample size of one isn't exactly great but these don't appear to have made it to Europe or the US yet.
