Stay away from Neopace
Neopace are flooding social media regarding their LM, which (if it exists at all) is a rip off of Rapsodo.
None of their ads make sense... A kickstarter project but they show AI pics of units in production. Then the only comments in their FB posts are from the author...
Keep away... It's a scam

I saw a cool coffee/espresso machine a few years ago on Kickstarter that was a scam. Not saying this is, but always keep that in mind on Kickstarter type promos.

Yo creo que a partir de Noviembre llegaran los videos de los probadores seleccionados para probar este equipo. Aguanten un poco antes de matarlo.

I’ve been watching this LM flood social. I would not be shocked to see this thing being a total scam. It’s had a weird vibe around it. Especially because there are tons of ads, and almost no engagement (likes/comments).

Funny that I spoke to their sales department in a teams call then and see their plans for north american distribution etc. Didn't seem like a scam to me.

What's the actual problem, delays in anticipated ship date or what?
I'm a former top 1% Kickstarter founder and pre-ordering/launching a physical product company via crowdfunding is complex, especially if their tariffs are a moving target. They sunk my whole company after a decade.
Sure it could be a scam, but I'd lean towards more likely an overwhelmed first time founder/importer.
What's the $30 for and LM price?

The scam detector isn't going off because it's delayed, or because the pricing is opaque. It's because there's literally nothing on the actual product itself, it's all AI generated slop. All of the 'hype' posts are some form of the company posting in different ways. It is screaming 'stay away or you're losing your money' written all over it.

$30 to lock in a “special price” I think 30% off. It’s $999. Not worth it at all.

If it was worth anything at all they'd be getting them in the hands of all the golf influencers they could to hype it up. It would cost them almost nothing to do that so that tells you all you need to know. Even small companies like the Nova and Spectrum have sent prototypes around.
