Since visordown ran a very similar feature on a very similar Rival Product in 2016, it's odd that it doesn't get a mention in the above article...

Anyone who mentions that product will automatically be sued.

If we crowdfunded enough to buy Korn a pair of prosthetic balls, reckon he'll let us have that thread back? Mr. Green

Someone is trash talking about WiPEY. Wub

The great wiper race is on and there can only be one winner although I'm not confident that either wiper is able to win. Laughing

That individual also posted on a few FB groups that I am a member of but at least one of the posts has disappeared.

You can still talk about Bikejet. 👍

As soon as we missed the winter release, there was no point rushing.

Road Tests from October 2019 👍

Tbf. And probably not a popular opinion.....

But if it's sub £30, I'd probably buy one.

Caveat : product must actually exist, not be a fake prototype or some kind of shitty preorder fake. Also website must not contain wall of text / autism.

Ouch, I was thinking sub-£50-possible-impulse-purchase. For ~ 150 EUR they can keep it.

OK, the image in the first link made it look like it was stuck to the helmet above the visor....

That makes all the difference then, I'm in.

Same over engineered redacted unit.

People will buy them, but at 150 EUR - when you can get a vee wipe for under a fiver.... They are fighting a losing battle.

Pass.
