The sophisticated bicycle has attracted fans in Europe and the U.S., but repairs under warranty have bled the company of money.

    Glad I bought a RadRunner instead. Even now when they’ve left the European market (why are e-bike companies so poor at running their business?) I can still get parts from wherever as it’s a pretty modular and tweakable system.

      Fairly expensive in my country. I see them also fairly often outside but not too many people can afford it.

      They cost, cca 2-3x monthly salary, for which you may get some A to B car or better, which most people do.

        About 1 month salary here. Even less when they had a sale so it was a no brainier for me and my gf since we live and work in the city. Sold my car years ago. More conviniet and cheaper to just rent in the rare cases we need one.
