Lots of questions remain. Fast charging is 1 of them. But if it charges in 5 seconds and costs $40k and only lasts 3 charge cycles, it's completely pointless.

If it were legit they'd be screaming at the top of their lungs for people to come and test them, and they'd be handing them out to journalists.

They claim it lasts for 10k or more cycles. Lithium free and good across a wildly bigger temperature range than li Ion. Density beyond the best of li ion. 400Wh/kg. They will supposedly start delivering the first bikes with the battery next month. More test results next Monday. A lot of bold claims,some substantiates with these current tests, some apparently deliberately not. Like density could easily be determined if they only weighed the battery under test. But regardless, the truth will be revealed soon enough. I am enthusiastic, but I'm not investing, so I have nothing to gain/lose. We shall see.

They claim all sorts of things. AFAIK only 1 of those claims have been validated.

True, not much of the claims have been validated. But regardless, they're saying they are releasing the product within a month, so if it is only hype to attract investors, they are either too late or they will be delaying the launch of the bike. Cause, the truth will soon be revealed.
