^ that review should be enough to put you off.
On a more serious note, have they actually delivered any bikes into the hands of customers yet (website states 'will be delivered to kickstarter backers in Aug, and Indiegogo backers in Sep')? there's a distinct lack of images online of bikes that aren't from reviews or product shots
also the fact they send it to tech blogs for hands on reviews rather than bike blogs suggests the ride quality might leave something to be desired.
they didn't leave these bikes for a ride review http://road.cc/content/tech-news/194834-first-look-speedx-leopard-and-leopard-pro-smart-road-bikes
