| Probably mainly because it doesn't seem to exist outside of the US, and I live in Europe. Only hear about products like that when shit's hitting the fan. From reading the wikipedia page, almost kind of impressive they are still trucking on: 70% drop from the IPO price (95% drop from peak) and a number of recalls and accidents including one child dead. |

| There's enough of a population out there that just either don't care about the price hikes, the fact that your bike gets disabled if it doesn't have internet, or straight up bricks itself if you try to use it with a third party service, that they seem to be able to still be in business. |
