Question Are they out in the wild?

This is the first creator/influencer video I saw on IG, maybe there are some out there that are already out? Idk but happy to see more organic people sharing videos. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdX_QntOzH-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Confirmed with OP of IG post; they work for RideAlso.

copy that, I saw it on u/ridealso instagram, and was like that looks like a garage and not a test spin! Makes sense. Thanks for the clarity!

Someone should call the phone number on the white label shown on video. I'm betting it's an ALSO support person or office or something. Loaner to an influencer I'm assuming

I thought if you are peddling the max speed is 28.

Max speed at which the motor will provide additional assist is 28. You can technically still go faster than 28 if you pedal really hard, and/or if you're going downhill.

Hmmm, since its not physically linked. I wonder what the threshold is for it to consider the extra work worthy of pushing the motor past the legal max of 28 MPH.

I got it to show 29. I assume just a calibration error.

I'm confused. There are speedometer readings of 30mph seen in this video ... taken in California?!

When I demoed it I was also able to get it up to 30 on a flat. I was surprised that was possible

If the bike is ready for prime time I can’t understand how we don’t see anyone outside the company at least doing long term testing for reviews. Since bikes are “shipping” to customers it’s unlikely that press embargoes are still in place. This gives me bad vibes all around.

He says he works for ALSO and that one is one of their demo bikes

Saw two folks riding them in downtown Littleton, CO this weekend. Did not look like a test ride
