I don't doubt the engineering, or the good intentions. But I would not be looking to buy one of these anytime soon. There's more than aesthetics behind my preference for the "VROOM" -- Car drivers often do not see us coming, but sometimes they can hear us -- that can be the difference between life & death. The electro-bike would be nearly silent! I would sooner get an electric car, for the sake of better protection.
