10 km Sports and 50 km Eco range is a no go. Plus they explicitly deny carbon fiber bikes, bikes with suspension, and tire choice is rather limited. You could've invested in a decent trekking bike with a standard motor instead, at least you get that hind wheel storage space free.

not really interested in this weird thing, but does anyone know what kind of bike is in the top picture? steel frame, machined brake calipers, really looks very attractive and light for a commuter.

would be better if there is an option for manual wired buttons to engage/disengage the booster positioned on the handlebars

So ah, can we buy it? What's the price? Not seeing unless ad blockers are hiding something.

According to articles like this one[0], they haven't shared pricing yet - so I guess it can't be bought quite yet.

Am I missing something or that thing can be trivially stolen?

Bicycles in general can be trivially stolen.

FUD. Cars in general can be trivially stolen if you don't lock them. Lock your bike and it can't be trivially stolen.

The problem here is this device can be easily removed even from a locked bike, and it itself cannot be easily locked to the bike.
