I am pretty sure there is a military version of these used by the Danish Army with that feature!
Seriously, Google it. After all this time we've known each other, I wouldn't lie to you.
OR what I would like to call a very weak and feeble Photon Propulsion at the back and a very feeble and weak Laser at the front.
AKA: A headlight and a taillight.

It is a VanMoof.
I made a video of the bike as I'm riding it (one handed! Yes, I do my own stunts) for my YouTube channel review (not finished yet), but I've not taken any pictures of them.
Here are some pix from the CraigsList ad:
This version/ model also has a built-in, integrated Abus chain lock. I always thought that was cool but I'm actually surprised at how practical and useful it's been.
I am a bit of an industrial design fan and the more I live and ride with this bike, the more I appreciate it.
There are many detail points that I like, but in general I just like the way it looks with it's very clean and practical lines and finish.
Maybe you guys can help answer a question I've been working on;
I want to get a secondary lock for it. I want to get an Abus lock.
1) I could get an Abus frame lock; secures and immobilizes the rear wheel.
It will be fixed to the frame and is the least intrusive from a visual/ design perspective. Keeps the visuals as clean as possible.
2) I could get an Abus Granite X U-lock. One of the toughest U-locks around.
These U-locks and the built-in chain lock both have the same super-duper lock/ tumbler.
Abus will make one of these that will match my current key if I want (+$10-15 I think, no big deal. The frame locks do not have the same keys so a match is impossible). So I would have a bigger, tougher and more intrusive U-lock (hanging off a bracket in the middle of the frame I suppose) but with the same key for both.
More busy visually, but a gnarlier lock and one key that fits both the chain and the U-lock.
Any opinions on that? What would you do?
Thanks for your help and experience.
