Just because it can be carried by a person does not make it a ’backpack’ vehicle. Give me a device that can actually FIT in MY backpack before you falsely claim it is backpack-sized, plz. Noobs.
That being said, the video particularly grabbed my attention not only for NOT SHOWING THE DAMN BIKE AT ALL, but for showing regular people, pedestrians and vehicularians (sp?) alike, apparently envying the amorphous ’swoosh’ effect that I assume is meant to represent the new electric penny-farthing rider at large. I would love to pay monies for a device that not only does what my own legs can do already, but does so in such a manner that is uncapturable by video. Did you ever see that southpark episode where Garrison created a revolutionary transportation method (which involved literal physical buttraping appendages) only to be crushed by the US Gov’t ’bailing out’ the airlines, which were deemed ’too big to fail to a buttraping motorcycle model that would have bankrupted any REAL company on the free market’
In conclusion, if you want people to buy your product, FUCKING DEMONSTRATE THAT YOUR PRODUCT IS WORTH THEIR MONEY. Viral videos will only go so far, and are ABSOLUTELY NEVER worth the money you put in - a good viral is based on the CONSUMERS, not how much money you’ve invested in that particular company.
