Have you been or feel like you've been scammed on Kickstarter or similar funding sites?
I'm technologically a bit behind...a lot of things, but I did back my first campaign on another site (Indiegogo) for a tire pressure monitor system late in 2018.
Since the original unit was also a Indiegogo campaign, and has been successfully marketed for a couple of years now (it's the FOBO system), I'm feeling pretty good about receiving the product.
Which I'm hoping to have in the next few weeks, as I have a motorcycle trip upcoming in mid-February.
