Reeks of Juicero.

NFS lock and unlock. GPS locator. Capacitance touchscreen controls. Hydraulic disc brakes.

Companion helmet with wirelessly connected brake lights, and noise cancelling(?!) speakers.

Why do we need to learn the same lessons over and over again?

I wouldn’t lump disk brakes in with the rest of those, maybe the hydraulic part is overkill though.

The $999 Lectric XP4 has hydraulic disc brakes. While uncommon at that price point, it's not unusual to see them on $1500-2k e-bikes.

My ebike has hydraulic disk brakes and a CVT, e bikes have moved forward from the bike-shaped-object era

Enviolo CVT? I'm curious about how you like it. I rented a Blue Bike in Boston with a CVT and loved it.
