1) I'd imagine it's very difficult to implement properly, especially if you need to put a hinge at the bottom of the handlepost for a fold.
2) Changing the stem is usually sufficient (and cheaper) to produce the same effect.
3) There could be all kinds of handling effects from changing the handlepost angle.
Spot on, specially on number 3. Glad to see someone acknowledging handling in this forum.

This bike looks amazing, price is about right. First generation was underpriced. I would love to own one, but how long until the novelty wears off? I want a bike for life, I am probably wrong, but buying this bike would feel like buying a new computer or phone, I will need to upgrade in a few years.

Pitty is stiill a front wheel motor I rather it was a center motor in the bottom bracket.

PS: I still want one
