I love this as a commuting solution, hate it as a mountain bike. The last thing we need is some yahoo able to lay down more power than they can pedal and erode the trails. You want to use a trail, pedal up, or go to a downhill park where they have the resources to build on the trails to take that kind of abuse.
Same with the danger of using this sort of 'bike' on bike paths or crowded urban areas. I think their promo video is demonstrating that they are just asking for trouble.
Hopefully greyp, figures out the damage they could be doing to their brand and goes the commuter route.
I think the market for a powerful/fast power assisted commuter bike is big enough. Why go after the small urban rider and lazy ignorant downhiller markets?
