All the blurb on the internet seems to be scepticism surrounding kickstarter campaign, but they are apparently shipping at 1/5 of their already very low RRP.

I'd have a punt at that price except my Garmin doesn't support power data.

They never shipped so don’t hold your breath. Even at 80% discount. IQ found it harder than they expected to make a reliable product. The axle extenders were ditched for conventional pedals and they’ve yet to ship those either.

What's power data? Says it supports Bluetooth and ant+. I may give it a go too.

Well it's not a kickstarter page. Is it still promising future delivery?

Reading between the lines of the DCRainMaker article- IQ2 did a limited production run of the original design and realised it is junk. Now they are doing a full pedal design as TiRed says. Hard to imagine it'd be anything other than a wasted $25 (even if they send something) and not even worth cannibalising for parts.

Their kick starter page is warning about scam sites.... The product is a pedal as well now. I think it's fair to say the site originally linked to is a tad dodgy...

TBH don’t bother with any ‘unknown’ power meters until they’re a known quantity 🙂

You want something that gives a reasonably consistent set of numbers and not a random meter and this seems to be a tricky thing to achieve.
(May have a limits sat on a table here 🙂 )

they were a fail, the original designer didnt realise that the thread distorting would skew the readings, that's why they went to pedals
