That seems like a really cool city bike. Nicely done short review. 👍🏻

[@davidfisch7654]

That review left me feeling like when you’re miles from the drive-thru and you realize they gave you an impossible burger instead of a double whopper. Neat concept, but can’t replace the real thing. Anyhoo, props for reviewing something unique. Keep ‘em coming and more often!

I drive an 18 wheeler over the road. This thing is light enough that I can (especially with popping the battery out) pick the thing up and heave it into the sleeper of my truck, and take it out to explore whatever cities they have me driving to in my off time. And its powerful enough I can take it in just about any road. The price is crazy, but for the freedom this can give me, to have a motorcycle that i can literally fireman carry wherever I go, it might be worth it. Not to mention the ink& has much cheaper suspension (which I don't care about in something I just want as basic transport) so it hurts my soul a little less lol *And,* I can literally just charge it from inside the truck as well lol

[@VanBlamm]

That is an awesome use case! It'd make a great RVer's runabout for the same reasons. I like to think I'd be a trucker in another life. I have a lot of respect for what you do.

[@Twinspinner]

@@VanBlamm I really want to had something bigger and gas powered for range reasons, but the logistics of trying to transport something like that is ridiculous, I can attempt to tie it down on the back between the truck and trailer, but with hour much trucks bounce and the security of singing like that scares me. An E bike would be perfect as far as packaging and weight because that would be super easy to put inside the truck, especially since many of them can fold, _however_ most aren't that fast and the street legality of those makes me too wary to want to bother. This is like the most happy medium between them. Small and light enough to carry and store if needed, but 100% street legal and capable of highway riding (I'm crazy enough to do it, it hits 55 so that's close enough for me lol)

[@MastaKeahi]

I could never get one of these. Yeah they are cool but a RE350 Classic is like 5k and gets like 106mpg.

[@JelloThatsMellow]

that price tag. oof.

[@IronBornRider]

Solid review, but until they can get the price down I think we won’t see mass adoption yet.
