Saw it on TV and got curious what it was. The level of component integration is very impressive: no wires sticking out every which way, no battery bag, a barely noticeable motor, and it looks like a smart phone is not required to operate the bike. Of course it isn't costco-cheap but darn!

That isn’t actually a bad price for a 750w motored ebike.

Do you own anything made in China and what about their persecution of minorities or the human rights record? Unless one goes completely off-grid and lives in the wilderness, there are just various shades of guilt...

I try to limit it by not using electric items lol.

We should put a hold on this Li-Ion nonsense until we can source ethical rare elements. Either that or lithium users should pay a large tax (like a carbon tax) to improve lithium production abuses.
