Your math is wrong. Indiegogo would take their 4% off the total funds not the profits. Plus, Indiegogo makes you responsible for the 3-5% credit card or PayPal fees. So, they'll be losing anywhere from 7-9% right off the top. Thats $175k - $225k gone before they build one bike. You are also...

"just because you pour syrup on sh!t don't make it pancakes" -Samual L Jackson, Juice Seriously though, if this does actually turn out to be a decent bike that actually lasts, this could generate a huge community of people hacking their Storm controllers & motors, rebuilding the battery packs...

The big thing is that they just added a FAQ section at the very bottom of the main indiegogo page. They have answered my burning question of "Why is everyone standing on the bike!!" Thank you Storm team. I can sleep tonight. Why is everybody stand-up riding on the bike in the video? Those are...

Your last statement is completely out of line. I am still completely missing why you think Court is trying torpedo anything. In his video and written responses he is simply pointing out obvious things about the campaign, features of the bikes from the pictures and/or description, and relating...

The circus color scheme and big yellow box in the triangle make this look like Cookie the Clown had sex with a Tonka truck and the Storm was the baby. I think the primary appeal is the price point. Its got the cool fat bike look but the default color scheme is not cool at all IMO. Looks are...

Hehe. I actually have no idea! I just thought it was strange that every single rider in the video is standing up on the pedals, no helmet, and never pedaling. Perhaps, this is just their marketing geniuses at work. Seat!?!? the Storm don't need no stinkin' seat.

What in the hell!!!! That article is scary. I need to start an Indiegogo campaign ASAP selling "The Gus" eBike for only $400!! Come one, come all!! I'm going do for eBikes what Homer Simpson did for the car. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) I mean, I don't actually have to delivery anything...

If Court was overly critical (I didn't really see it that way), I agree with his assessment. This is not the Tesla of bicycles. This is more like 'the used Nissan Leaf of Bicycles' so people should understand what they are going to buy relative to what else is available in the market. Let's not...

Good video Court! Helps bring some logic/sanity to everyone that may get caught up in the hype of this thing and buy on impulse. I'm a bit concerned this campaign is telling everyone this is the 'Tesla of Bicycles' which would may make people not familiar with eBikes believe this is an elite...

I love my fat bike!!! Back on topic: I wonder if the people beyond this campaign can't help but feel this is a runaway freight train due to the enormous popularity this has gotten. I mean making money is great but they have got to feel the pressure around this now. Their original goal was what...

If these guys can build a $500 eBike and it doesn't suck, it will force the high end eBikes to lower their prices to something reasonable. I've always despised the high margins on eBikes (wholesale for a Stromer ST1 is less than $2100, MSRP is $3500+ wtf!) so I hope this makes all the 'major'...

Nice! If I only had a electric fat bike with studded tires I would actually be able to ride to work tomorrow. I'll have to take the car :( Depressing

Just got dumped on with snow today in Chicago. I took the fat bike out and was able to get through 8 inches at about 4 mph but it was a TON of work. It was also really squirmy in turns. For yucks, I then took out my Surly LHT with 26x1.75 studded tires and Bafang middrive. Holy sh!t! This thing...

Where is the "Dislike" button :mad: I get it. Thermal imaging is cool. There is no need to spam every thread in this forum with a link to your post.

The Abus folding locks also pack a pretty strong size/security/weigh ratio: Link Removed (Access Denied) I use the same approach as Brambor. I rarely leave the bike outside unattended for long periods if I can't see it. Just too much risk in my area for such an expensive bike. The Stromers or...

Ohh yeah - do not buy into those insurance policies of the bike locks as any sort of protection. They are a scam. In most cases it requires evidence of the lock being broken and almost never includes protection against power tools or torches. Most ulocks worth a damn absolutely require an angle...

Good choice on abandoning the ST2 idea. That bike has a lot of wizbang features that are essentially useless. The only thing it has going for it is that huge battery. I also agree the city kit rear rack sucks. Its only good for light duty applications, which I am not. It looks the best though...

Using the 750W Bafang and the right battery, you can grenade the chain pretty easily with the throttle. I assume the Titanium chain recommendation is just to have the most robust chain possible. A thick 7 or 8 speed chain is usually enough. A 9 or 10 speed chain is usually too thin.

I've got about 700 snow and freezing temp miles and the Bafang has been rock solid. No issues so far and it has had a very rough life so far.

Amen to that.
