@scathach@stereophonic.space Ebike companies are selling bikes with a 10kw motor and an 80 mile range for $4.5k. It's not regulatory fees either because that thing has a VIN too.
They genuinely just have no idea what the market wants. They're trying to take a bike, swap the ICE engine for an electric motor and sell it.
The only people who want that are people who want super fast high-end bikes, which is market already captured by Lightning and Energica.
Established brands are just making huge product blunders.
