> real company

This is a bit nebulous. Every consumer, especially where the expense is a lot of money for them would do well to give this idea more thought.

A pretty website, a few employees and some prototypes doesn’t hit a meaningful bar, let alone millions of dollars in capital (which this joint didn’t even have), TBH. Too bad fuckedcompany is no longer around, it did a great service.

Prototypes? This company was essentially selling a rebranded Segway ES2.

How is that link related to this company? Do you have some information they were even the same supplier?

Regardless, doesn't change my basic point, which is that "real company" is a nebulous concept and not prudent for a consumer. My neighbor's venture without even a business certificate may be a more "real company" because if he fucks me over he has at least has to see me everyday for years.

Your right, I copied the wrong link.. This article touches on the subject: https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/20/18691357/unicorn-electric...

I agree with you and didn't mean to dispute your point, just add to it.
