Today I came across these new bikes from
Volata cycles which supposedly are the "smartest bikes" out there. Bike features Di2 Alfine 11 IGH, carbon belt drive, intergrated lights, dynamo hub, a computer intergrated into a stem and even a joystick on your drop bars. All in all, I'd say it's more suitable for commuting than any other type of riding. Their website specifies that size M bike will weight 10.6 kg (or 23.37 lb) which is pretty light considering everything the bike has. It's fully sustainable and pretty much maintainance free.
You can book one now for $300 and overall the bike will cost $3500. Sounds a bit steep but besides that I believe it really could be decent commuter for those who like design and function working together.
What are your thoughts on it? Would you consider buying one when it comes out?
