Why would I pay $75K for a bicycle? That Oregon based company has a motorcycle, with a suspension for less than $20K, does a sustained 100mph.

I\'ve been riding my ebike every chance I get, it is unbelievably fun. My commute is significantly faster and actually rewarding in so many ways. I can\'t even begin to explain how incredible it is to blow through standstill traffic with the speed of a professional athlete while getting around 1000 mpg equivalent. Also, I get to park at the door and have a bunch of money suddenly not being spent on car stuff. Srsly, cars are for suckers, just like this absurdly overpriced bike.

Gad, that thing is FUGLY. At first glance I thought it was a photo of a motorcycle from the turn of the LAST century.

This is a bad joke. Going 62mph without suspension is not doable as the rider would get thrown off on normal streets. Next 1.2kw isn\'t enough to push a bike that fast without aero body. It would take 7-10kw to do that. In the US it\'s not a bike but a MC, pedals or not. Ebikes and MC\'s are a great idea but this one isn\'t. Plus unlikely to be the fastest Ebike under their difinition either.

The speed record was 64 mph on a 3-wheel human powered streaminer from the early 1980s (Vector). That record held for many many years. Now it is up over 80 mph on a 2-wheel streamliner. I don\'t know if spending $75K and finding about faster bicycles will make customers very happy.

Makes me wonder if they actually did market research before coming up with the production limit of 667. For what they are offering at that ridiculous price point, I have the feeling that they will be waaaaay overstocked!

Its a bit early for an aprils fool joke right? no suspension, $75k. sure. I wouldnt pay $7k for that.

I have done 130Kmh on a bicycle - down a HUGE steep and long hill, towing a trailer full of heavy stuff...... Quite good actually. For the people who shit can first and think nothing later...... 1. If you are going to do much more than 20 - 30Kmh.... and way up too 100 kmh, dump the velcro and wear more and more heavy duty stuff like joint pads, gloves and leathers. 2. Avoid surfaces that induce excessive vertical accelerations. And - Or: 3. Buy a motorbike.

Very clean looking, but as far as being new or \"the fastest\"....No I made one of these about 4 years ago (60mph ebike)... Terrible idea. Recently i made an electric moped with a 65mph top speed and a 40 mile range. Great suspension, full lights and all, much better idea then this death machine.
