micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

$1500 for a belt drive ebike with integrated frame battery? That's an aggressive price point IMO... This could almost be mistaken for a non electric bicycle too, which is pretty neat if you live somewhere sketchy.
Just hope the default gearing is good enough, especially if that 250W motor needs some help climbing hills ๐
I'd probably consider spending a little more for a mid drive with rear internal gears, but at that point you've lost the stealthy non-electric look
Ride1Up makes very similar "stealth" bikes for less. Their cheapest is $1000 (I think it's actually on sale for $900 today) but it has cheaper parts. The nicer "gravel" variant is $1350 and it has nicer parts like a Gates belt drive.
But this one looks to be a couple of pounds lighter, and has a bit more range. So it might be worth the extra $150.
