Oooh a new device to wear out my tires faster that looks really odd. I am curious if the company is going to be real or vaporware and if they are going to support their products. A lot of these solutions without a lot of staying power unfortunately. But hey for a sub 3 mile trip once in a while maybe could be OK-ish.

Maybe on...a cruiser? Trying to envision 10 pounds attached to the front of any of my bikes.

I know someone who is quite enamored with the idea of this thing. I'm (gently) trying to dissuade him from getting one, and getting something like the Swytch conversion kit instead.

Not to comment on the usability or not of this product, and it's not for me (unless it fits on my "cruiser"), but they raised $10 million so far, it's so easy to remove and replace that it can be carried with you, is "airline-legal" and a YouTube video by Electrek says it functions adequately.
