Skully, Inc. Shutdown & Lawsuit

The San Fransisco startup, Skully, Inc. shuts down after sucessful
Indigogo crowdfunding campaign. The creator of the smart helmet was
recently hit with a lawsuit by a former employee that claims Marcus and
Mitchell Weller used funds inappropriately by purchasing personal
trips, motorcycles, sportscars and more with investment funds. Early
supporters that invested $1400 not likely to receive smart helmets from
Skully.

I don't understand why they needed to build a helmet. could've easily made check pads for popular helmets that included the tech and even drill a little hole if you wanted the camera.
great video!

And with technology always advancing that would actually be -serviceable-!! Great comment, I was wondering if they were running into issues with their technology being outdated, wouldn’t want a warehouse full of useless helmets laying around...

Your speedometer isn't working

[@MotorcyleJohn]

+theLemonRX I have to wipe the chain wax off the speedo sensor. Not in much of a rush on that tho..haha

Bet these guys are big Jarvis fans before he became a mere vision

[@MotorcyleJohn]

+dutch7471 haha..yes 👌

[@durdatlurson6248]

You had any luck finding that R6 yet?

[@MotorcyleJohn]

+Durdat Lurson the R6c was recovered! Thief really messed it up tho. Bittersweet..

[@durdatlurson6248]

+Motorcycle John what happened to the thief? Arrested?

[@MotorcyleJohn]

+Durdat Lurson arrested. Not sure about charges tho

[@trentlothringer2867]

and what's fucked up is all the people who prepaid their orders for a helmet are not gonna get reimbursed. I read that they were using the funding money for buying vipers and going to strip clubs and paintings, wow man it was a pretty cool helmet what a shame

[@MotorcyleJohn]

+trent lothringer a shame..

[@trentlothringer2867]

+Motorcycle John or sham lol but I was really kinda looking forward about the helmet I wouldn't spend a grand for the helmet I was gonna wait till the price went down haha

[@MotorcyleJohn]

+trent lothringer was a sham.. I'm still looking forward to a smart helmet tho haha

[@trentlothringer2867]

+Motorcycle John me 2 man I'm sure somebody will pick up on their technology and put one on the market

[@MotorcyleJohn]

+trent lothringer its bound to happen 👌

[@Aersix105]

Glad i never bought one :P I just buy new motorcycles instead they dont go bankrupt and no preorder madness!

[@MotorcyleJohn]

+MotoTenacity Preorder madness! Haha What would you pay for a smart helmet, if the company offered quality and was not in jeopardy of going bankrupt? One more thing lol would you expect technical support/firmware updates or just buy it outright like a Bluetooth helmet? Shitty that Skully was a sham..what a shame.

[@Aersix105]

+Motorcycle John I'm not sue what I would pay. I wear a shoei rf1200 that's my max budget there. They could change if I actually held the skully and saw it in person lol. I'm pretty low tech. Only thing I use is a Sena smh10 which hasn't even made its was to my new helmet yet

[@Aersix105]

+Motorcycle John the basics are cool but firmware updates should be available as things do change.
