    Thanks for the context but

    I feel like price for the one time purchase is set deliberately high because they want people to actually pay for the subscription instead. If their goal really was to make their products more accessible, just allow people to pay in installments and take some recurring interest fees for the financing.

    And, in any case, the product should work no matter whether I’m late with the monthly fee or not. That’s just bullshit.

      It will continue to activate for 60 days after the last payment, then the “in motion” module (it’s not klim’s tech, it’s in motion’s tech and subscription) won’t turn on before a ride. It doesn’t need to connect to the internet to work while riding, it syncs over wifi. They specify it won’t stop working during a ride.

      Also, you can still buy the system outright. Having a subscription entitles you to a new detection module after three years though
