Problem with trying to go light weight is so many compromises are made one ends up with the worst of both worlds. Only way to get a light battery is to make it a small battery. Thus minimal range, minimal power, light by ebike standards but still heavy by normal bike standards.

I'm not sure what the purpose of this bike is. I guess rides that are always less than an hour?
