The thing with kickstarter/crowdfunding is that once you get the item, if it performs well, you don't care about the wait any longer. Like buy a Brompton or other expensive bike, after you've had it a year or so, you forget about the cost. And, eventually, cost-over-time is minimal if you maintain it well.
