Best ebike I've ever seen. Mature base bike and battery. 2-speed kickback is the cherry on top.

That thing has zero Aesthetic design, it's all just pure engineered parts. I love it!

Good ol' Sullivan. "Form follows Function"! Simply gorgeous. If I could only ride 2 wheels again. I do have reservations about 6ah and how far it can go. Of course you gotta pedal all the time, but I do that anyway. Stop and go city traffic eats up the battery.

The spot they chose is what makes it attractive. Unused space that is in line with the roll axis and right above structural support. Cover it with a straw basket and a few frilly flowers?

I think I still prefer my own solution to battery placement.

As usual, you are correct. The architect, not the psychologist. Hey, I'm old and forget stuff.

Well, it does leave room for the basket.
