Replying to Avatar CarteBlanche

There is no direct mechanical connection between the pedals and the rear wheel. The pedals are connected to a generating motor. The rear wheel is propelled by a second motor. This allows for an infinitely adjustable riding experience controlled by software. If you’ve ever ridden a bike with gears, you’ll probably be aware of what pain in the ass those systems can be.

Oh wow, that is cool. Assume it recharges for extra pedaling you store? Don't know if other bikes currently do that. None of the ones I've ridden did, as far as I know

Right. Pedaling only adds charge to the battery. The resistance is determined by the rider via software. It’s a total reimagining of the bicycle. This is gonna be game changing for personal mobility worldwide. Of course, it will take a long time to permiate. Just like the adoption of Bitcoin. It’s better. But people will remain unconvinced for decades to come.

4500 usd sounds high, but it insane if it performs as good as suggested (didn't see any hard specs, but didn't look).

Thanks for explaining

I’m pretty sure this is meant to be marketed as a replacement for a car. This is for the bicycle commuter. A daily driver. $4,500 is completely in line for one’s primary source of transportation.

No problem bud 👊
