Just the cost of the non-electric components alone should exceed $250. Buyer beware!

The images of the bike do not correlate to the description of the components and features. Even the video of the rider is not accurate to the description. The bike pics do not show a battery, a motor, a display, let alone a 21 speed drivetrain. The forks appear to be upside down sport bike motorcycle suspension forks ( Rock Shocks is faintly visible) but, the white bike in the video has rigid forks.
I don't know about the policies of indiegogo, but, this smells like an outright misrepresentation!

Yeah, a carbon bike with a $1600 drivetrain and $1500 forks for $250? Sign me up

Campaign suspended for trust and safety issues.

Just about ANYTHING on Indiegogo immediately strikes me as having "trust and safety issues".

The SRAM XX1 that it advertises it has alone costs more than the bike lol
