"I really think this is a terrible idea, and dilutes everything that's great about a bike. A proprietary, integrated display has been done several times on bikes, and it's still a really, really bad idea. The tech will probably be slightly outdated when it hits the market, and then what in 3 years? "
"I've been using glasses for more than 30 years and my biggest recurring issue is the pressure on the nose or glasses sliding down the nose... as far as I can tell (without trying them) this is an answer to a question nobody asked, "
"First thought: Weight. As a wearer of glasses for many years, one thing which is really sensitive to the fit, comfort and convenience is the weight. Heavy glasses tend to glide down the nose and uncomfortable. These look like they could be heavy. Second thought: Clumsy. They look really, really clumsy. Just a few mm's difference on a frame thickness makes a lot of difference on the look and these look kinda heavy handed."
"This chair was called "Uno", is designed av Norwegian designer Per Leiv Øie and produced by Norwegian company Ekornes (most know for their Stressless chair:)) in laminated Beech. "
"Huh. We had the exactly same solution in the basement of the apartment block I used to live in Oslo, Norway! Built in the late 1940's, it used electric ovens, but it might originally been installed with ovens connected to the central heater."
"Front wheel motor? Seriously, in 2024? That together with an built-in proprietary battery makes this a big no-go for me. This bike is designed to be used and thrown away and not to be maintained and repaired."
"I think for sure this is an area to explore and he's highlighted some of the issues with ebikes, but I think this is an unnecessary complicated solution. I use my ebike every day, role it into the garage and plug it in. It's very simple. This solution would still require the same ground space when then bike is docked and undocked, so why do I need this extra piece of expensive equipment? The real beauty of an ebike compared to a car, is it's simplicity, so let's keep it as simple as possible and focus on lowering the threashold for picking the ebike over the car."
