Looks like this silver one is still on sale, though version2.0… £199
A new update…
Hi all, we mentioned last week that we experienced some hiccups that were challenging to solve with software. This week, after running multiple tests - inside, outside, pedal-focused, product-focused, crank-focused and more - we are a lot closer to reaching a conclusion on how to fix it.
Also, we’d like to address the frustration that some of you have expressed. We completely understand you. If we weren’t the inventors of this product, but instead waiting on the other side as backers, we’d be equally disappointed by the shifting delivery dates and perceived lack of technical information.
Having said that, it seems there are possibilities within rewriting part of the software that will help minimize any inconsistencies in power readings. This should be good news! We’ll let you know as soon as we know more.

I just saw that as well. I am glad to see an update, I am not sure at this point if will be enough to appease the impatient ones. There are many comments that escalated from I want an update to I want a refund to this is a complete scam. I think that there are many who simply won’t be satisfied even when (if?) they finally receive it.

While I’m excited to see this product delivered, I ordered myself up another power metering solution. With my race season about to start I wanted to have a solution in place so my training can continue smoothly. Not sure what I’ll do when (if?) if gets here.
I’m sure they’re in a tough spot.

I might be interested in it if the day comes. Between my son and I and the number of bikes, we could probably use another one.
I am still a bit skeptical on the ease of transferring between bikes. From my correspondence, the heli-coil part that you screw into the crankarm to which you bolt in the pedal/meter isn’t available as a separate part (yet) so to move pedals and meter from bike to bike, you have to unbolt the unit AND undo the heli-coil from the crankarm. I am not sure that I want to be un/reinstalling anything into the crankarm with any frequency for fear of messing the threads. I was hoping they would make the heli-coil adapters for sale.

It is again more than two weeks since the last update from IQ2. 
Just received this:
Hi all,
In our last update two weeks ago we announced we’d update you once we have the conclusion to our accuracy challenge. We’ve been running multiple tests and tweaking the software to secure precision, but haven’t cracked the code yet. We’re currently trying out alternative algorithms with our partners and will inform you of the outcome.
Kind regards,
Team iQsquare
More waiting it seems… Hope no one is holding their breath for this! Seems a ‘difficult’ issue for them to solve…
Sigh. I hope they get this figured out.
Sounds they’re copying death spiral Brim Brothers emails verbatim…

No guarantee one way or the other.
But this sounds very familiar indeed

So I have come to the conclusion that I will have to take a loss on the 219 Euros from the pledge.
Just ordered myself some Assioma Duo’s and if the IQ2 meters arrive anytime I will try to sell them off to limit some of the loss.

Who knew developing a new power meter would be difficult. Hope this update is legit. What I don’t get is why they insist on going silent for so long between updates which only stokes the negative comments. They clearly don’t understand that even if they deliver a usable product, how much their reputation has been damaged
Hi all, after extensive extra testing these last few weeks we have finally localized the power meter phenomenon that has been causing the inaccurate power readings we’ve been receiving. To be honest, it’s been a bit of a frustrating time for both our iQsquare team and our skilled production partners. Every time we thought we had it, the issue seemed to ‘jump’ and we had to do more testing.
Where we previously thought we could fix the issue with extra calibration software, we now see that this is no longer a possibility. Now that we understand what the issue is, we can work on the solution. The good news is: there is a solution and we will try to present it next week or the week after; it will have quite a significant impact on the product.
We’ll present our solution in-depth with an extensive update as soon as possible.
Interesting. What grates is that they give about 70% of the story and leave out the detail that everyone needs to know. It comes across as dishonesty by omission. Really hope they sort it out as a lot of people have invested.
I’m assuming that moving a component to accommodate the molding process they mentioned in the Jan 9 update/delay wasn’t adequately validated and caused an issue in timing, latency, or interference that they didn’t discover until they got the first production units. They’ve been trying software workarounds but haven’t been able to do it so it’s another component placement.
On the bright side, they are still trying to fix the product and get it released, instead of just taking the money and flying to the caribean.

I spoke with a guy on the phone from IQ2 in March. I asked, “What are the accuracy numbers?” He said, “1%.” Based on that information, I took the chance and ordered a unit. It appears that I am out a couple of hundred Euros.
I knew that any pre 1.0 release on a tech startup is a risk. What I don’t know is whether the person I talked to knew that what he was saying was not true.
Its mid April. Anyone get their meter yet?
Last update was they finally found the source of an issue they found in their first production units. Apparently it will have a significant impact which they haven’t shared yet, but it is easy to read that it will cause a proportionately significant delay in getting them out.
Thanks. I am interpreting that as next season🙄…
Have a feeling that your all’s money is on the beach in Mexico.
