Interesting concept.

Wonder if it'll catch on with roadies or performance oriented bicyclists?

Cheers

Gets a lot of promotion lately but I wonder why any cyclist
would want one? I surely do not.

To the point of 'cheaper than a real moped', OK I get that.
Good luck to the makers.

The technology's kind of interesting. But I really doubt that roadies will be interested.

Regarding "any cyclists," yes I think there will be some. There really are people who prefer not to sweat. There are also dedicated "early adopters" who will buy almost anything that interfaces with their smart phone. But at $700 each I think popularity will remain low - maybe as low as the Segway. You know, that thing that was going to change the face of city transportation, or some such hype.

We'll see, I guess.

I'll take any Global Warming you aren't using right now.

30 miles at 20 mph?

I'm having trouble getting my head around that - unless the rider weighs
65 pounds...

November, this is searchable in GooNews, was warmest Nov on record or second. USA and 3-4 others areas were an anomalous.

Florida takes in abt 4-500,000 retirees/year....add all warm clime retirement areas then 10-20% buy a bicycle. Of that number figure 10% with a CW or more if we see a hulahoop/IPLOD hysteria.

Butbutbut...who builds the wheel ? more French micro switchery ? kerosene in the milk ?
