Fortnine on YouTube did a pretty nice review of these bikes the other day.

And I have to say, the motor/enclosed chain/swingarm assembly is brilliant.
Looks like one gets 90 miles per charge and the other 100. That’s pretty good. They’re kinda pricey though.
So you can drive about 80 "city" miles round trip for $16k? That's insanely overpriced. For 25% more you can get a Zero with 100% more range. Of you can drive 72 "city" miles for $2k less. 8 miles for $2,000?? What? And this is all presuming you've got LFP cells in there charged to 90% before you ride, and you come right back home.
Good range for a city bike, sure. Bad range for anybody commuting into the city from the suburbs. And the price is foolish high for what you get.
