It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Fast charging would be useful in touring and bikepacking;

I agree, but THIS bike is not it! It doesn't even have fork mounts or rack mounts from what I can see. Who is this bike actually for?

This bike doesn't exist yet. The pictures are renders and for marketing, like this article. Heck, maybe that's why there's a press release. They're getting public feedback without locking in specific design details.

Given they have Gary Fisher onboard, I'd be very surprised if they launch without any method to mount accessories.

But they are talking money now! LOL

Gary is the only reason why this bike is making headlines. The charging thing isn't really a pull if the rest of the bike has no mass appeal.

I completely agree. A fool and their money are soon parted. :)
