AFAIK its UK and US residents only atm

from the site

Am I eligible to start a Kickstarter project?
US creators must be permanent US residents at least 18 years of age with a social security number (or EIN), a US bank account, US address, US state-issued ID (driver’s license), and major US credit or debit card.
UK creators must be permanent UK residents at least 18 years of age either creating a project in their own name or on behalf of a legal entity with a Companies House Number. You’ll need a UK address, UK bank account, government-issued ID (driver’s license or passport), and a major UK credit or debit card.
Please note that anyone, anywhere (with a major credit or debit card) can pledge to Kickstarter projects.
We’re working hard to open up to more countries. If you’ve been waiting, we really appreciate your patience.

I am fair sure that Russell’s wife is still a US resident or some loophole like that. Funnily enough you can search by location on Kickstarter and there are a few Aussie projects around :slight_smile:

“a lightweight generator to charge your phone, lights and removable battery pack”
Looks like an incredibly useful device, especially for touring/bikepacking. A pretty good video too.

The KH2 by Kappius Components by Russell Kappius — Kickstarter

Is this unique in any way?

33

Yeah I totally want hubs with more nooks and krannys because trying to stick my finger through spokes when cleaning isnt challenging enough.
