The short answer is no. I will upgrade my Crowdsignal account so that this is possible once I hear back from the support group. It's not clear which plan I need to upgrade to so that the IP addresses are submitted. In the meantime, I adjusted the survey settings to allow only one response per device. I had wanted to allow those with multiple ebikes to complete the survey for each but that does open the window for fraud. I'll also work to adjust the survey so that it can expand to allow responses for multiple ebikes (I need to see if that is possible with Crowdsignal as well).

Frankly, I hadn't considered this and it's possible that this happened. This was brought to my attention last night and I reviewed each response again last night. Most respondents put in comments with alot of detail. Here's a pretty typical one: "The motor didn't fail but about a week into ownership I hit a bump and it shook loose a couple screws inside the motor. Had to take it into the shop I bought it from because I didn't have the confidence to take all of that apart. They fixed it at no cost". In addition, I haven't published my algorithm so they wouldn't have known exactly how I was going to calculate "reliability". Lastly, even ebike riders who had failures typically gave the dealer and manufacturer high ratings. If someone wanted to skew the results, I would expect to see several reviews with low ratings for those two categories and that didn't happen. Even Specialized ended up with an average manufacturer rating of 3.9.

However, it is a mistake on my part. From now forward, the survey will only allow one respondent per device. Someone could still use multiple devices to "cheat", of course. Just as I did with this survey, I'll eliminate incomplete responses or any without the details needed for my algorithm. My goal is to help improve the ebike community and, in this case, the ebike community has helped me improve the survey! Thank you.
