Too bad they’re not making more.

Looking for: (1) low mileage, stock EXR (2) complete powertrains (3) related spares I’ve got a build brewing, in the tinkering stages now. please PM me if you can help thank you. ~j

Unfortunately, we’ve run out of time. The relevant assets necessary to support the Redshift platform have been sold to another buyer. I don’t have all the details. Philip’s suggested embargo on bikes no longer has an impact on a potential v2.0 effort. A reboot appears to be impossible at...

I’m disinterested in the bad sequel your assumptions imply; we should all be. You’ve expressed frustration previously as a former team member. How could you view the same plan as viable? NewCo won’t do OldCo plan. The world has moved on. We’ve hopefully learned something, too. Will be...

FYI folks - interest isn't getting confirmed fast enough for us to be super hopeful at the moment. I have some triangulation to do, but if you're holding out and can do more, now is the time to raise your hand. Time & capital are the issues. Can solve one with the other. We don't have enough...

Thank you for confirming your incompatibility with the opportunity, as Philip and I both suspected and counseled you directly offline. We can now prioritize other interest accordingly. If you wouldn't mind, please allow us to run the process one-on-one with interested parties and answer their...

Built bikes and parts in inventory are acquired as part of the assset purchase. Think of it as zero COGS to the NewCo. Making money on those economics is pretty straight forward. As we fix the supply chain and tweak the distribution model over the first 6-12 months, we'll have built...

Gotcha. Believe service laptops were built to do all kinds of things, because you never know. That large and over-spec'ed hardware is probably not the right fit for what you and others would want to do. When we have a lower cost version, it's 100% within our own interests and new business...

I'm not deep enough to confirm 100%, but I fear that idea is pandora's box from a liability perspective. Can't commit to it now. Sorry. Out of curiosity... what would that capability be worth to you? I'm sure you can understand that being able to update firmware is one thing, but edit it...

Any acquirer of these assets would likely leave behind the liabilities, including the warranty obligations. If a new entity sells you the bike, then the warranty with which it is sold covers that vehicle. It may or may not be the same. If you bought an OldCo bike that now has an issue...

For the record, there's a good chance this livery ends up being pretty low budget - like a merit badge only we'd understand.

If you're willing, Philip - I say folks place their wishlist with you and we keep on updating our spreadsheet. If we get to the end of the rainbow before time runs out, we get the cash in the door, buy the assets and get to work. If we don't, the bikes on dealer floors will likely get...

Parts orders through a dealer would similarly not help... If we set it up to take them, could help if made directly through NewCo. Probably better to assume if we can pull this thing off that parts would be available later. Then again, cash is cash. So anything helps.

Kinda, but not exactly. You'd be placing a 100% paid in full deposit with the NewCo for delivery of a Redshift that we don't yet own, or haven't yet assembled. Once the assets are acquired, including remaining inventory of bikes and parts, we'd match you with a bike or refund your deposit. As...

It would go to old creditors or pay the fees of the folks liquidating the assets. A fraction of it might be acquirable by the NewCo, but only a diluted fragment.

The strangest things prove inspirational sometimes... If you're sitting on the sidelines watching this all go down, not in a position to invest for one reason or another, but interested in doing your part - how about buying a bike? I don't mean run all over the country trying to find one with...

It's like anything else that runs out of money - they ran out of time before securing additional financing for a business that wasn't yet profitable. The why behind all of that is 1,000 decisions over a decade. It wasn't any one thing. They were survivors, grinders. It wasn't for lack of...

Happily. I'll give you a ring when the company is in a position to hire employees and has prioritized the gaps to fill. Right now, there is no need to stir up hope or carnage unnecessarily. Philip has been documenting non-financial support and interest as well, but it's simply not relevant...

Faster Faster died October 19th, 2018. Rather than rehash the history in gory detail, let me offer the best eulogy I've heard, in the words of one of the co-founders. The celebratory moment here is in Alta as a brand and the Redshift product platform. Let's find a way to preserve them, if we...
