I see, after 30-45km you walk or call a taxi. No slow riding. Hence the 'range' specification.

The review is favorable.

This kind of bike opens the door for a lot of creativity in the software. For example, the power to the wheel can be proportional to your pedaling speed (using the pedal as an input device), the resistance on the pedal can change with the pedal angle (similar to elliptic chain wheel), turning the pedal backward can apply reverse force on the wheel (coaster brakes, with power regeneration), vertical pedaling (you crank the pedals up/down, not full rotations), one legged person pedaling (you press a pedal, and then it come up back by using the generator as a motor) etc. I would not be surprised if they already filed a bunch of patents for similar ideas.
