It doesn't stop working while you're riding, that's just hyperbole stirred up by this headline. This is not a safety issue, nor is this unreasonable "usury". Just like any financing plan in existence, the interest rate here is that the total cost of ownership is higher on the payment plan than on the alternative pay-up-front plan they offer. The benefit of the payment plan is you can start for less money. The unusual feature of this payment plan compared to your house, car, or credit cards is you get to pause and/or cancel it with no penalties.
