- JoshTko 3y agoThis. Ebike with non disableable airtag built into the frame as the killer feature.
- chrischen 3y agoEbike market is very fragmented in terms of use cases. They’d have to release like 10 models.
- pstuart 3y agojust 3: good, better, best
- phinnaeus 3y agoBike, Bike Pro, Bike Ultra
- nxobject 3y agoInstructions misunderstood, released Bike S Air Pro
- peterleiser 3y agoSlight addition: eBike, eBike Pro, eBike Ultra. Ok, good job folks. I think we got it.
- fhk 3y agoUSB-C?
- doctoboggan 3y agoBike, Bike Pro, and Bike Ultra
- iancmceachern 3y agoBut which one is a cargo bike? A mountain bike? A street bike? A commuter bike?
- fhk 3y agoThats what the accessories are for!
- ihuman 3y ago"These are not 4 separate devices"
- iancmceachern 3y agoI'm pointing out, as others have, that the bike market is highly fragmented, lots of variety for good reason. It would be hard to come put with "a" , or even "a line" of bikes. You really need a dozen
- aikinai 3y agoYour parent wasn’t disagreeing. "These are not 4 separate devices" is a reference to the iPhone launch announcement.
- NegativeLatency 3y agoWhich one is the kids bike? Which one is the bakfiets?
- NilsIRL 3y agoThis already exists: https://mfi.apple.com/ https://mfi.apple.com/
- iAMkenough 3y agoThe bike pictured is a VanMoof S3 which was discontinued when VanMoof went bust.
- ncr100 3y agoJust a button, would be better. Like an AirTag but it does some home automation thing.
- keanebean86 3y agoWhat if, hear me out, the wheels were on the sides and not front and back. It uses gyroscopes to keep itself balanced. Instead of twisting the handle or pushing a button like a savage you lean in the direction you want to go! This is a totally new idea and not a product that was released over 20 years ago and since discontinued.
- Gunnerhead 3y agoFor a second there I thought you were talking about the IT bike from South Park. https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/IT https://southpark.fandom.com/wiki/IT
- Dylan16807 3y agoWhen you make an argument like that, the suggested changes need to be improvements. A 12 mile per hour limit is really bad for a transportation device.
- awhow 3y agoIt’s like a bicycle for your body
- miramba 3y agoThanks. For reference: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KmuP8gsgWb8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KmuP8gsgWb8
- LexGray 3y agoThere was a gyroscope based motorcycle which I thought was more the Apple Style. I was imagining single person cars just like they make all their devices single user. Get one auto-driving bike for each member of the family and you would ride laying on your back so you could take a nap if you wanted.
- Doctor_Fegg 3y agoMy long-standing hobbyhorse is that Apple should buy Brompton. Miniaturisation? Check. Lightweight metals? Check. Battery technology? Check. Premium design-centric product? Check. Product small enough to be sold through worldwide network of Apple Stores? Check. Then add in what Apple could do with UX around bike navigation and you have a perfect fit.
