I would have to try a model before I give them money. It looks too easy to go over the handlebars. Or is that why it is geared so low and has no leverage, you can't go fast enough to hurt yourself.... Light weight is the main attraction but wet weather would cut use a huge amount. DIY 3D printing of fiber composites could make it a success. I wonder if inductive charging of super capacitors to supply energy for climbing hills would fix the gears/leverage problem.

I want to try one as well. A big question mark-- does the design pretty much eliminate spills/crashes? Or does it introduce a whole new risk?

I think I recall fenders are a "stretch goal" (don't feel like looking again.
