Delivery time update
over 3 years ago – Mon, Jan 23, 2023 at 12:51:19 AM

Hi backers.

Delivery timeline pushback is never good news; unfortunately, that is where we are. Now the band-aid has been ripped off, we’ll break it down for you.

Due to structural changes in their company, our former software development agency has decided not to work with us anymore #startuplife.

We have secured another well-renowned agency that has overtaken the app’s development.

They work fast and prioritize us. As they didn’t have access to the source code from the previous developers, they had to start from scratch. But, on a positive note, we will now be able to unlock even without an internet connection, and furthermore enable another quality-of-life improvement that we’ll disclose later!

• 13-03-23: Beta test of 30 locks with the new app starts in Copenhagen
  
• 01-05-23: App finished and submitted to App Store and Google Play
  
• 15-05-23: Apps published on App Store and Google Play
  

As per the timeline above, we will execute shipping in mid-May 2023.

We thank you for your patience, and like always, we can’t wait for you to receive your locks.

All the best,

Marcus Kjellsson

CEO & Founder

Hi backers.

Thank you so much for your support! With your help, we will be able to produce locks for all of your bikes!

From now on we have one focus - getting the lock into production. We promise to keep you updated, and will do so once a month.

For those of you who like nerdy stuff, here's an image of the exterior.

If you have friends who didn’t get a chance to pre-order a lock, they can still do so on InDemand right here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/o-lock-the-smart-bike-lock/x/31048938#/

Again - thank you! We can’t wait to get your locks shipped.

All the best,

Team LAAS

We’ve been working very hard on something smart, and we are now ready to announce that we can implement tracking in the LAAS O-lock. And that’s without tampering with price or battery life!

What if we told you that if we reach 100 comments, we will implement the tracking in the software? Would that be something that you would want?

Comment ‘UP’ if you want tracking implemented and be up to date on your bike's whereabouts!

Your opinion matters to us and we want to give you more color choices for your Next O-lock.

This is why we decide to introduce 3 more colors for our O-lock collection on Kickstarter.

In what order? It's you who decide: the most voted will come first, the second will come after, and so on.

How to vote?

Just write in the comment section of this update your choice, a simple "A", "B", or "C" will do the job.

How are votes counted?

We will count all of your votes until Sunday, and announce the ranking Monday.

NB: you will be able to choose which color you want for your O-lock(s) with a survey we send after the campaign ends.

Stretch Goals - The Reveal ✨

You can't decide which one you like the most? No problem, we will in due time unlock all the 3 colors, starting from the most voted.

Here are the Stretch Goals:

We have raised over 20k Euros in less than 20 hours. That is because of YOU and that is AMAZING! We are humbled by your support, and we are EAGER to get you all your locks!

We just received the ‘Project We Love’ badge, and we can’t wait to see how far this campaign will take us!
