That looks like it would be extremely unreliable and needlessly expensive to maintain. Maybe even impossible for the average person to maintain it
Yup, that went well for Van Moof owners in the Netherlands. Also hipster bikes, the latest model turned out to be of dubious quality and was built using all custom parts. They had fun times getting their ridiculously overpriced bikes repaired after the company went belly up.
The whole van moof thing was absolutely hilarious tbh (if you didn't buy one, I mean).
I hope Netherlands will litigate good Right to Repair into existance. Netherlands is part of EU, so I belive in you.
It's so shit. There is a kickstarter of an ebike like that and it's worse than you van ever imagine. It's LOUD as fuck and worse in every way than a normal bike.
Yeah but looks cool! /s
I mean it does look cool.
Next time I have a bunch of extra cash to throw at a decorative art piece I'll consider it
That's because it's not a bike. It's a sales pitch to silicon valley. Like most tech startups, they want some rich VC dipshit or big tech company to throw millions of dollars at them.
Is it high-bitched electric buzz? If so, then it's probably BLDC controller. Normal people use PMSM - more efficient and quieter.
