> Dear Future Customer,
>
> You are one of several hundred people who saw the RevoPower Wheel,
> and chose to place a $50 deposit to secure your early delivery of
> the product. Over the months since then, we could have taken
> many thousands of deposits, but chose not to,
> in deference to our future dealers who are also very excited about
> selling the Wheel.
>
> At the time, we expected to be very close to delivery right now, as
> the winter thaws and our thoughts turn to spending more time
> outside. In fact, we said that delivery would be early in 2007.
>
> It turns out that manufacturing an entirely new product, with 200
> parts and a number of highly ingenious but technically critical
> assemblies, is a much bigger job than we or our manufacturing
> partners had anticipated. We have a number of early production
> units here in testing, but there is a lot of work which needs to be
> done to ensure reliability and quality that you and we expect in
> the product.
>
> As a result, it now seems unlikely that deliveries will begin
> before late in the year, or even early in 2008. This is a big
> disappointment to us, and Iâ€â„¢m sure to you as well. However, rest
> assured that engineering work is continuing, and quite a lot of
> money is being spent to get the results we need.
>
> Which brings us to your deposit. We have held all the deposit money
> in a separate account, so it is all still in the bank. I know many
> of you may be impatient as well as disappointed, and wish to have
> your deposit returned. We understand fully. If you elect to request
> this, we will send you a check and still notify you when the
> product is available. You will, however, need to go to one of our
> dealers to get your Wheel.
>
> If you decide to be patient, we will hold your deposit, guarantee
> the $399 price minus your $50 (recommended retail will now be
> around the $599 mark), and ship your Wheel first. While we would
> appreciate your continued support, we are not in any way dependent
> upon your $50 deposit. So donâ€â„¢t feel bad if you ask for a refund.
>
> In the meantime, we will continue to keep you up to date with our
> efforts. We are now having discussions with companies throughout
> North and South America, Africa, India, and Europe, all of whom are
> interested in delivering the Wheel in their countries. We are
> confident that, in time, the whole world will be getting to their
> destination using the RevoPower Wheel!
