Love the Velotric Tempo but installation instructions for fender & rack are laughably bad

The installation instructions for the Velotric Tempo's OEM Fender & Rack are laughably bad. The "instructions" is just a video with limited details, cuts that leave out any potentially useful information and the comments of said video are filled to the brim with people complaining about the instructions. I may have got unlucky or be doing something horribly wrong, but if you somehow manage to follow the instructions for installing the fender, the back one still does not fit on the wheel properly at all.

The only review on the fender on their website is a "5-star" review that only says "Rubs a little- pretty snug". Paying 80 bucks for 2 pieces of flimsy plastic that don't even fit properly on the only bike that they're built for is a joke. Their own description even brags about just how perfectly it fits:

> Engineered exclusively for the Velotric Tempo, this fender is optimized for fit precision

and

> Designed to align perfectly with the Tempo’s wheel and frame geometry

I have attempted to leave a review on the fender on Velotric's website warning others off of this horrid product with even worse support, but they seem to not approve of having my complaints on their website.

Sorry for the rant, but the entire experience around this product has really ruined my day. I have the rack as well, it seems well built but I am going to installing it for the time period - the installation instructions for that are in the exact same video as for the fender.
