Thanks StiHacka.! Just found a solution for the shipping fee, where we ship in bulk to a central location in US and then distribute.. Works out to about USD 15 per backpack. Have to figure out whether we should refund via Paypal or just ask Indiegogo to reduce it in the perks itself.
The basic crowdfunding pledges will beget you a backpack that molds perfectly to most human spinal structures, especially when you are in the 'Hunchback of Notre Dame' cycling pose.
However for only 250 USD, we will customise a backpack to support your dorsal topography.
For 500$, we'll even...
Hey, A few months back, I was seeking feedback on the ultimate commute backpack. Thanks for all the feedback - we finally launched the new backpack as Aster - the world's safest commute backpack on Indiegogo at https://igg.me/at/Aster ! As a thanks, there is a secret perk you can access from...
Thanks Stoney. Will actually provide an option. Here, we are planning to use EL instead of LED. EL is stitch-able and thinner. But might as well provide the option - the back-light being red is ingrained into all of us since we picked up our first bike!
Thanks Kickstand. I am an entrepreneur and a cyclist - cant be those without a sense of humor I suspect. And being spammy comes with being an entrepreneur :cheers:
Done! The flashing light option is easy to do. Will put that in. For the lights being red, it does change the aesthetic significantly. I'll build a prototype and see how it looks. I'll share the photos once I do it.
Thanks AngryMetal! Custom logos are a dope idea. I'll see how we can make that happen. Dont know specifically about the graphic you suggested of course :)
Thanks JD. That is super useful. Given that I personally have a bit of fat covering my 6-pack (ok, layers and layers of fat :) ), we will make sure it fits soon-to-be-athletic profiles well too! On the food - Do most commuters carry their food too to work?
haha, Though it all comes down to one question - how long has the hooker been dead? I think , if it is longer than 6 months, it should make it easier (depending on the size of the hooker). If it is longer than 2 years, then we are in business even with a 6L bag!
Hi Nick,
Thanks for your feedback. Will take your fedback. We are building 2 bags - one with larger lit up area and another with the cycle logo. But will work on the prominense of it. One idea was to make it a brighter red light, but it seems to spoil the looks!
Well, it does fit a 3L Hydration bladder, where you can put in your liquor! Why waste taking out the can - just use the bladder! The rest of the bag should carry 6L additionally - would that suffice? :)
Hi Dan-o,
Thanks for your reply. I hope this means that you like it :) . Do tell us what else we can build in! As for the Kickstarter, not yet. The Kickstarter campaign is itself planned in January. Currently, we are collecting feedback so we can finally launch a kick-ass Commuter backpack! I'll...
Hi,
I am a co-founder at Lumos (Bangalore-based startup) and we need your help in building the ultimate commute backpack. We are currently working on the Lumos Ninja and the Lumos Nox. ! In both the Ninja and Nox, we have in-built EL-lighting that will help light up the cyclists and make him/her...
