Communications and marketing are definitely not his strengths, which is unfortunate because it really impacts whether this will catch on or not. If I were him I'd start with changing the following (in addition to giving realistic timelines and release dates): - Redesign the logo. His current...

I was also thinking the radios in any of the wireless components, be it the PAS sensor or throttle. I'm guessing that those would use Bluetooth or some kind of authorized standard.

This looks like good news. I'm excited to see some real world reviews. I'd surmise that the two to three month window for IGG backers vs 3 to 4 weeks for someone ordering from the site is because he needs to actually get some revenue coming in to fulfill the IGG orders. It's sort of like...

I'd say that I feel like we've been on the verge of a product launch for so long now that at some point it feels like "supplier delays" might not be the whole story. Jeff might not be lying, but seeing as he's a private start-up, he's under no obligation to share his financials... and who...

Honest question... are you friend's with Jeff or associated with him in any way?

My guess is that the reason everyone is still waiting comes down to money. This company has generated almost zero revenue in, what... five years? Jeff is likely spending his time chasing investors, which is probably a difficult proposition if the share structure is already highly diluted...

It looks really good, but it's entering the cold season in New England and there's no user reviews and it's too costly in my opinion. He probably needs higher volumes to get his costs down. I'm also concerned that he hasn't got the tech press to pick up on it (at least as far as my own...

Re: Tarrifs That all may be true in the sense the China had/has "unfair" advantages, but a certain economic order had set around trade between the US and China. Americans are wholly reliant on low cost consumer goods from overseas. And with all of all of the grievances you mentioned, the...

From Jeff's last update... Currently sitting at the middle of August. At this juncture, I don't think he's going to get much interest from regions that experience winter. Even if it's still months away for places like the north east, I'd now rather sit out the season and see what my options...

I get the sense that Jeff has already approached a lot of bike share groups and has been turned away, specifically by Citi bike. While I would personally love to use this on the bike shares in my city, it would seem that many of these groups I follow are looking at full on electric bikes and...

Someone raised a good point in the comments on the Indiegogo page. To paraphrase, 'where is Jeff on the smartphone app development?' I'm assuming this is needed to set up Shareroller? In my opinion, the app's UI "screen grabs" are pretty consistent with the graphic design styleof Jeff's...

"...and I shall assemble Shareroller by renting out highly affordable commercial real estate in Manhattan" sarcasm aside, he's probably found a small, but large enough space to store a little inventory and assemble/box the components as they arrive from China.

The reason he's not opening pre-orders is that when you're actually selling a specified product that is paid with a credit card, the customer can do a charge back when that product isn't delivered. In the case of crowdfunding, you're just supporting the initiative and acknowledging that you may...

I still think that at the price range of $1200 (or more), this will be a very niche product. The people who are reading this forum are versed in the nuances of Jeff's friction drive system vs cheaper options. If he keeps this price point, his business model relies on keen, highly researched...

Nice to see some progress. The packs do look nice. I would hope (for the ultimate success of the product) that the eventual retail price is very comparable to the price paid by backers of the IGG campaign or even lower. The space has matured a lot since Jeff started this project. Battery...

Well, over one month since the 10 day countdown and slightly over two weeks since "`1 week'. I also noticed this, when you view the original kickstarter campaign link. If this is true, it's interesting that it never made the updates. Perhaps it also better explains the decision to...

After saying it would be "six days" for about a week, he's now updated it again to say ' ~1 week'. Any guesses as to what that translates to in Jeff years? I get the feeling that Jeff monitors this thread so perhaps he'll chime in. We're getting far enough into the summer that I'm far less...

On June 1, it was announced that we were 10 days away till pre-order launch. Fifteen days later we are "6" days away according to the website. So I guess that's progress, but the whole thing makes me question why he decided to use "days" as a progress indicator rather than some kind of visual...

Since it appeared that I was temporarily banned for no other reason than being critical of Shareroller (that was the reason given when I tried to login a few days ago), I'd like to say that, like most here, I like Shareroller and the concept of it and think it has the potential to fill a much...

Jeff's 2nd last announcement was that shipments would start June 1st. Then he said he was taking pre-orders May 31st and shipping an "estimated" number of weeks down the road, seemingly ignoring his commitment to June 1st. This guy's record on meeting deadlines is 0 for 30. I have no reason...
