For what it's worth, the Taiwanese company Gogoro already has an e-bike on the market that ships to the USA (the Eeyo 1s) that has the same weight, same range, and same motor wattage at the same price point. The design is a little more stylish too in my opinion, although it lacks fenders (which the Prolog has). [1] [2]
Personally, I've looked at the Eeyo bike but can't really justify the price, given that you can buy a very nice full carbon non-electric bike from Bikes Direct for less than half the price. Even Gogoro's core product, an electric scooter, which is much faster, powerful, and more versatile, retails for less.

- johnwatson11218 6y agoOne point in favor of the eBikes is that no matter how hot it got here in Arizona I was able to do some riding every day of the summer. So long as I had enough water and covered up my skin it seemed OK to hit the trails when it was 115 degrees. On a normal bike I stop attempting rides at about 104.
