Sounds too good to be true. And you know what they say...
I understand your skepticism, but you should also understand that reverse engineering costs far less than R&D, and that marketing/team sponsorship is a huge expense.
Light Bicycle has been around the block a few times(since about 2010), and there are very few negative reviews/forum posts about the company, or their products. The one post that has been mentioned, was strange in many ways.
