Ah yes we needed more conglomerate affiliations in our lives.
hmm I would only buy them from bike makers.
Also let's hope they produce it in better quality than their laptops.
- I wouldn't get one from them either. And definitely not the first one.
  But just the fact that a major tech company is getting aboard the e-bike trend is noteworthy in itself.

  They smell money, meaning there is demand for it.
- @sexypeach @ajsadauskas I used to think the same thing but actually it turns out not all bike makers are created equal and some of the things they're not good at are things electronics makers are fantastic at (like distribution)
I can't think of anything less appealing. Bikes are their own area of expertise.
