this is a fabricated scenario.

you could have bought a xiaomi scooter on amazon for $300 - $400 anytime this year. who would ever buy into some maybe-scooter kickstarter if they were low on cash? and who low on cash is buying $700 christmas presents?

Not sure why you would jump to such a dismissive conclusion without at least doing some reading - media reporting has first-hand accounts from customers[0]:

If you think that's a "fabricated scenario" I suggest you get out more and gain some perspective on how people actually live.

Pal, it wasn’t a Kickstarter. And I liked what was being offered. Stop victim blaming.
