    Had to look at another article for pricing and whatnot but $1,700 and $2,000 doesn’t seem bad. Though with all the ‘intelligent’ features outlined on the product page, it seems like there’s a subscription revenue model waiting to sneak into your wallet.

      Rounding out the announcements is the Xaber (say-br) 300, an electric dirt bike geared toward off-roading. It has three power modes, letting you learn on the equivalent of a 150cc engine, then dialing that up to 200cc, before topping out at 300cc.

      Dude, the equivalent of a 300cc motor for $2k is a CRAZY good deal.

      Yeah, I’m fairly skeptical of non-bicycle companies that suddenly decide to make e-bikes in general, but “smart” features are often anything but that, so I’m put off doubly so.
