The original Magnic light kickstarter is the reason I don’t do kickstarter anymore. Horrible communication with the backers, extremely late in delivery and the final product was no where near what was actually backed. The promise of fancy carbon awesomeness ended up being cheap plastic crap with junk metal mounts for the bike. We can’t use them due to their poor design.
So Kickstarter folks – beware of backing this “new” idea. He takes the money and runs and when he finally delivers its no where NEAR what was promised or even close. And not even worth the discounted price for retail.
We are selling both our original ones for $50 each and no one will touch them. This is probably why he’s trying to bilk us all again.
Beware.
