Hey, another company that wants to make bike shaped things, rather than a functional bike.

Where do you put a front or rear rack on that thing? Basket? Or water bottles? Or better fenders? Do those unconventional handlebars even have circular tubing to mount a bike computer?

Who is their target market?

But it's not an expensive e-bike @ approx. $3400.

Someone with money to burn won't buy this. And someone looking for an ebike won't want a faux urban ebike with little to no utility factor.

Seems like a strange product. Where does it fit in the ever growing market of ebikes?

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
