I doubt they ran into trouble because of their planned sales model. Fundamentally this is not a product I would expect to be commercially successful. All these weird trends like Kickstarters for "Connected bikes" and Bluetooth "smart locks" are not actually very useful to cyclists. Real improvements to cycling will come from investments in infrastructure, not by throwing technology at bicycles themselves.
