Hard to justify a $200 expenditure when your buddy buys a $40 light on e-bay that blows your SafeRide away and has 30% more run time to boot. I guess that means innovation only has so much monetary value ...

Then again, perhaps they pulled the stock because they want to market a better version. (?)
