So there’s no mechanical connection between the pedals and the drive gear? The website says “Yu refers to DreamRide as “pedal by wire.” There are no gears, no derailleurs, no internal hub for shifting. Instead, a computer with a removable battery sits in the base of the aluminum alloy frame.”

Not too handy in a grid down or SHTF situation if this is the case. And totally not self repairable. Fiat.
