This is not Kickstarter? They have a waiting list for 1$ to get 33% off at launch. Their website states the battery packs are already used in rental bikes in France.
The difference with most Kickstarters is that we have ALREADY built the product, so it’s totally de-risked
We are using a kickstarter because we are a small startup and we don’t have the funds to buy the materials to build the batteries in advance, so the economics of the kickstarter (people pay us upfront) makes it possible for us to build a large batch at a lower cost!
