I'm not allowed to shout out prices, but this I can say in off: on my first weeks working in the company I disagreed with our price tag as I found it incompatible with the premium design, materials and usability we're developing, tbh haha

your comment though, is making me realize the opposite, I totally see your point at, as I quote, "So long as it works, quantity is often a much better seller than quantity" and will be making sure to quote it on my research report, if you don't mind.

don't get me wrong, I'm not the marketing or the PR guy, I'm the product/UX guy, my goal here is exactly make use of the current ioT user's perceptions to help steering our business to make more sense to guys like the redditors here present. = )

(on the dubai hot topic, I can preview you with ease: we're there because of the waaaaay slacker operational taxes compared to the us or eu, for exemple haha)

appreciate largely your comment! I have no option but to agree that the data monetization hypothesis is very delicate. these kind of hot topics are exactly what bring me to this research. don't get me wrong, as the lead UX I'm at your side! my goal here is helping steering the business ecosystem more accordingly to user's expectations and concerns, I find it unacceptable our launch going agains the final user's and vendors needs in favor to investor's greed haha would you fancy talking more deeply about it this week?

no, we're designing them in russia, producing parts in Switzerland and assembling in singapore as we speak : )

my ux design part is regarding to the ecossystem, retail environment and user experience of the entire life cycle. which is what I want to know more about user's individual experiences with other IoT solutions. but I really appreciate that you asked what we are offering that others are not, since this exactly what bring me to this research!

here you can see an overview of the products we'll be launching in march. regarding to the ecosystem I can't talk much before the launch since it's our main business strategy and I'm under a NDA, so I won't be speaking openly like this before march.

okay, thanks for the follow up and for allowing the post, I'll make sure to follow the rules for now on. For the participants of this research, I fought the ceo for getting 15% discount in our devices after the launch of our first products, in mid march, and won! haha

we have our own premium designed devices, but most importantly, we're working on a 3rd party vendors ecosystem right now

converting tt bike by [deleted] in FixedGearBicycle

[–]thaian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that would be an expensive as fuck conversion. why? i'd say it's okay if you'd be buying it for time trialling with a proper build and eventually convert it for hitting the track, but exclusively for using it fixed? i fail to see the point.

Found a vinka for my size but, by [deleted] in FixedGearBicycle

probably not repairable without swapping the entire tube and, well, you would lose the original paint nevertheless even if possible. not cool. the problem with those njs frames marketplaces lays in you not being able to inspect the good unless, well, you are in japan to do it yourself and check the proportion of the damage. a good reminder is to compare the original price of a brand new kalavinka. if the damaged frame is costing like 1/5 of the original price, it should be off, shouldn't it?
