It seems US manufacturers only cater to the luxury segment. How about doing something simple, reliable and cheap? With the tariffs soon they will kill off cheap foreign options and we will only have upscale things to buy. It used to be that the US was good at producing for the mass market but it seems that's over.

This thing seems totally overengineered by people who never use bikes

Like Rad Power Bikes? Though IIRC they're not doing too well at the moment.

I have a Juiced bike myself for the commute, it's quite nice.
