It's got a battery and you use it outdoors.... so I think it belongs here!

Interesting concept. I'll bet it's riotously expensive though... :P

I suspect so - no prices on the website :D

No suspension other than those cute little street tires? I'm too soft for that kind of ride! :0
I'll stick with my full motion monkey cycle, it's big tires and 27 gears.

As a very long time cyclist ive never liked motorized bikes, usual they weight a ton and dont go very fast, i pass many going up hills, yes im probably more tired but i also ride to keep fit, so not for me but very cool and compact looking,plus nice to see one on a lightweight road bike, :tu:

My mother always told me that if I have to ask the price, I can't afford it! :P

It´s nice to see those technology implemented in a decent looking bycicleand not one of thoseawkward looking ones they sell here in hardware stores or those "city bikes " that are for sale at bicycle stores.
I´d like to test ride one but fear i couldn´t afford one, too.
If this technology gets more widespread and cheaper it would be a nice alternative for my daily job commute and the ways i have to do while working. I´ve seen some postal service men use electrified bikes in more rural areas.

Thomas i think the word for those electric bikes is fugly :D down where i live its only old folk who ride them, i wouldnt be seen dead on one :D

Exactly - this looks like a decent ride, not some bizarre hair dryer strapped to a girls bike contraption! The idea that these hybrid bikes are getting updated designs is great.
If you read all the blurb on it, it's also very clever as it uses braking energy to recharge the battery and goes at 45kph amongst other things. I like it anyway :)

Its probably one make of bike ive never owned,i sorted a nice specialized road bike for my brothers lands end to john o groats last year from evans and my brother loved it, although my brother still manged to break 4 spokes 5 punctures and he broke the threaded boss for the down tube bottle cage :D but he is a nightmare with bikes ::) i fix more of his bikes than mine :rofl:
-
With my back the way it is I'd love to get an electric motor onto my Brompton. I do think that hybrid bikes are a definite transport solution of the future.
-
Those bikes are usually fairly pricey :drool: I like the looks of this one though and it couldn't cost anymore than some of their c/f models.

$5900.00 MSRP
