BackPedal is a verified UK-based startup (backpedal.co) offering GPS tracking and theft recovery services for ebikes. External search confirms significant traction with ~$500k-$1M estimated revenue (TrustMRR), partnerships (Estarli), and positive recovery outcomes (~85% success rate). However, the submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('most people have used my product', 'reach: everyone') and minimal detail. The score reflects the strong underlying business fundamentals and market utility, heavily penalized by the lack of credible evidence provided in the submission.
