Kickstarter ended but can still be purchased through indiegogo - has better stats than Garmin and Wahoo that's on the market.

Many projects have been funded then gone bust without any product.
Cold.
Cold.
I've backed plenty of projects on there and received all of them...
I have too but you are buying an idea not an actual product. Always a chance you can end up with nothing. Go and look up the spectrum vega+ and the shipstorm that’s causing.
Nope, if it doesn't get made you don't pay anything. By signing up to pre order you are saying you back the product to be made, once the target amount is reached the prduct is put in to manufacturing and then you are charged.

So no guarantee then.
But saying all that it does seem a very good value product if all functionality and price is true.
Yes, the Garmin equivalent isn’t perfect and it’s expensive but it works properly and reliably and that’s why I’d choose that over some upstart product that is still in development with many promises that may never be met and by the time it does come out something else better may be out.
I’ve also been burned by too many Kickstarter projects that promise the world and are just a load of junk when/if they arrive.
Within literally a couple of weeks, clone cubes were being mass produced in China and sold for as little as $4 per unit delivered - ironically from the same mouldings the Kickstarter guys had just paid R&D money for.
To stick the knife in even further, if you purchased a 'clone' from China it arrived in a couple of weeks - whereas the people who paid for the Kickstarter hadn't even received their units well over a month later.
Worst case: you'll lose all your Kickstarter money. Best case, you'll actually receive something - but the Chinese will already have knocked it off with a better unit for around 25% of the price you paid.
The Elemnt Bolt is readily available, tried, tested, refined, WORKS exceptionally well and available. It's also only £200 INCLUDING VAT.
Thanks but no thanks, I have a Wahoo Element and won't go back to Garmin or nor an unheard of company.
