Whoa that’s a lot of red!
Never heard of a bike with “automatic transmission” though — I’ll definitely have to check it out.
But how can they call this an urban bike if doesn’t come with fenders?!
Very cool bikes, if overpriced. Especially given that if you change your region to the U.S. on their website the bikes are about 2/3 the price. The e-bikes sell for $2900 USD in the States, and $4500 in Canada. Transport, taxes, fees. Whatever, that math just doesn’t add up.
