“In simple terms, Urtopia has integrated ChatGPT into its e-bike to provide voice interaction with the rider. For example, a rider can ask the e-bike how to change a flat tire, or for directions to a local bike shop that could do it for them. “

Goddammit, I was interested in this bike too. I’ve wanted an e-bike that’s lightweight and has a belt-drive. This checked nearly every box but I knew something was up. Their whole site reeks of tech-bro.
With zero knowledge, I don’t like that frame at all.
Me neither, but it goes 40km/h and it only weighs 15kg. I go up and down stairs, so the weight’s important to me. I haven’t found anything else that’s comparable that’s also belt driven. Every e-bike seems like a compromise. I’m hoping soon there will be more standardization regarding features in the industry, so I could just put my own ebike together.
Yeah the range of ebikes out there is fucking wack. I have no idea who they’re being marketed to exactly because you’d think there’d be like 5-6 obvious use-cases for ebikes and outside maybe urban delivery cargo bikes, makers don’t seem to cater to any of them very well.
