Top assisted speed of 20 mph and a range of only 30 miles for $700? Ouch. [1]
You could get some powerbocks for half that price, and no need to buy a bike. Those supposedly provide a running speed of 20 mph with no range limit, just the possible downside of making you look ridiculous. [2]

It's too bad it's too expensive to be relevant for people who rely on bike transportation for financial reasons (at least, in much of america) :(
I'd love one, but it seems silly to spend that much on my bike.
I think in Denmark or any country with lots of support for cycling and expensive cars it would be reasonable.

Well, this is basically the price of an iphone. The market said it could bear that price.
You got downvoted but I think this is a pretty valid point, at least in the US
