indiegogo - scam - don't lose your money

 Rocket eBike (over half a million dollars funded via indiegogo.com) appears to be a total scam.

Indiegogo is not accepting ANY responsibility OR liability for your losses.  You could lose $10,000 and there is NOTHING that you could do to get your money back.  Calling your bank/credit card to file a dispute, contacting your attorney general, hiring your own private attorney, complaining to the bbb.org or etc.  NONE of those things will get your money back.

I know because I have been burned by a different indiegogo and nobody gave a Fv<k.  I lost money, permanently, but not this large of an amount.

Anyhow, here are just a FEW reasons why I believe they are a scam:

1. The "guy" responsible for it all calls himself "georg" (no e).  Nowhere does he ever list his last name.  Maybe because pronounced backwards is "grow (nest) egg"?
2. The only photograph of his is 1) LOW-def; 2) Black and white; 3) From afar; 4) Where he is wearing ski goggles and a hat.  Hiding from people that will want to hunt you down, Mr. no last name?
3. He has multiple titles within the company "Manager," "CEO," "Founder," etc.  Pick one.  Make it sound legit.  And stick with it.
4. The description of the bike does not match the bikes shown in the video.
5. They don't give the slightest of damns about their customers, as observed by a woman on facebook with the comment, "I would never buy from a company that has their models riding fast bikes but not wearing helmets".  It actually says a lot more than you might initially think.  Think deeper about it before parting with so much of your hard earned money.
6. They list two locations but no addresses.  Curious, I asked for clarification.  I was provided the address of a Physical Therapist in California.  Don't know if that's a sign that you will be hurting physically or just financially once they are done with you.
7. They banned me from commenting via fb instead of simply addressing my simplest of concerns.
8. It has been said by "ebike experts" that Bafang does not have a regenerative motor.  Yet, they advertise regenerative motors on these things "by Bafang" & mechanical brakes are shown, not hydraulics as advertised.
9. The eBike experts that I consulted also stated that there is "no way" that these bikes could ride 100 mi on a single charge.
10. They advertise "full-suspension".  The model shown on their videos does not have full-suspension.
11. I found out about it by being suckered in by a facebook ad.  Google indicates tons of comments about people being scammed by facebook ads, including ebike ones.
12. I googled "rocket ebike scam" and found others having other concerns, just as frightening as the ones shown above.
