Given the specs (lead acid, low speed, weight) it's not a great ebike. On the other hand, it does show there are a lot of people interested in the concept. Renting an ebike a few times would cost as much, and this is a pretty casual commitment. Hope it all works out.

Couple this with the $500 Storm? Almost looks like a trend...

We're in a time a lot like the beginning of motorcycles. There were hundreds of manufacturers that sprung up overnight. Most of them didn't last very long, but they helped put motorcycles on the map.

I wonder who will be the Harley Davidson of the eBike world that will be in existence in a hundred years?

That looks amazingly crappy. I'd be surprised if you couldn't already find something less bad for the same price without messing with kickstarter.
