How does the anti-theft system stop someone from picking up the bike and throwing it into a van and diving off with it?

Wild claims seem a little wild
Not possible to integrate a gearbox that changes drive ratio for the pedals alone with the setup shown in the photos. The gearbox would only effect the motors output, not the pedal effort's output.
Having never tried this setup, it may work great in actual use, as long as the battery has juice.
Also, most serious bikes are using 48v batteries, some 52v, so that is another specious claim. And the "manually operated boost function" sure sounds like a lot like a throttle... something that is common to a lot of even the least expensive bikes.

Again, the gearbox setup might work just fine in practice, but it cannot be apples to apples compared to a derailleur or geared hub in utility or operation.

I will say the city bike frame looks very cool!

Very impressive and yes, I to have been there before

I am so excited that an algorithm will adapt automatically to my needs. Where do I get one?

The most exciting bike development I have seen in years, I wonder if I will ever be able to affordably buy one in AUS. Maybe a local maker will license the patent here hopefully as I expect it would cost too much to import one.

@anthony88 - Bike thieves aren't known for their work ethic.

I see these frame specific E Bike Kits as another missed opportunity. If/when you have issues with the motor, transmission or the frame then what? It's not like you can just pedal home or get repairs at your local bike shop. The idea of an integrated Power Assist with a simplified transmission is great but to be affordable & relatively easy to repair it doesn't get much better than an Internal Gear Hub with a Bottom Bracket Mid Drive.

A very smart approach.

I donno, ever had someone ride with you on the handlebars?

@Signguy, if you "donno," then why speak up? FYI, anybody who carries loads on the front of a bike knows that a frame-mounted rack affects handling much less than a fork- or handlebar-mounted rack.
