Interesting, although in the Netherlands you can get bikes for a similar price. The customization makes me think of Van Moof https://www.vanmoof.com/en_nl/
@eindbaas@nivo0o0 Rubber seems like something that would not hold up very well in this context... But hey, there's a 10 year warranty on the belt drive, and a 25 year warranty on the bike ("limited" though...) Plus rust-proof, which is sweet.

@shimmb@nivo0o0 Don't think of rubber as in rubber band but rubber as in tire. Brands like Trek use the same belts.
Damn, in Canada the Ikea Family Price makes a $400 difference!

16kg? – No, thanks.

@boettges right?! The less sense it makes for a bicycle, the more people like it. That's why most of them will be not utilized after a week or two.

@759nelson absolutely...if you add the rear rack it's another kilogram. The fron rack adds even another 2kg. Plus a proper bike-lock and you'll easily reach a total of 20-21kg.
My bike is half of that incl. a heavy kryptonite lock and I did not even try to actively buy ultra-light parts.

To bad the cart in the front style all over Europe seems to be a "no-no" in the US.

It has an "automatic 2-gear system". How does that work?
From manual: " There are two gears that shift automatically depending on the speed at which you are cycling." Neat...
Pretty interesting bicycle with great features to make customizing the utility (front rack, rear rack, trailer, etc) very easy. Great article about this product here: http://www.core77.com/posts/5965...
