KONA has a new Ebike & it looks cool

[Dave Rocks]

THE REMOTE X REMAINS OUR ULTIMATE SHRED WORKHORSE. Built around 180mm of travel, Bosch’s full-power CX drive system, and an incredible 800Wh battery, it’s made for riders who do their best thinking when the smooth part of the trail ends. Big hits, rough lines, and all-day missions are exactly what it was built for.

Nice looking ride

It has never been outside. And it cannot be pedaled because it has no pedals. The artificial lighting is great with the Armor All covered tires.

Looks like a computer rendering to me.
Still a nice bike

To get the lighting it would take a 30' scaffold with booms to get the lights from above. But the side lighting does not illuminate the background. So, yes, it is a fake photo and maybe AI. The crank and valve positions and saddle height are identical to this photo. Oh, and the gear it is in is identical.

Who cares about a launch photo having some AI touchup?

Glad to see Kona adding new models now that they're back with the founders!

PedalUma is jealous of the bike because it doesn't have a water bottle battery.

A few years ago there was a bike shop downtown that had my bikes on consignment. One of those bikes I got for fee, converted and sold it for $2050 the next day. The key to that was the woven basket up front with fake flowers from the dollar store! It was a single speed coaster brake bike. I ran the display wire through frame, drilled the handlebar in two spots and ran the display wire through the handlebar. It went to an artist visiting from Scottsdale. She had to buy it. It was like a $150 Target bike.
Anyway they would also rent my bikes to tourists. A couple rented bikes on a Tuesday morning and rode to the farmer's market. They called the shop's owner saying that the bikes will not start. He jumped in his car and drove there. There they were seated at a table having a picnic. With the two 'water bottles' on the table between them.

A fool born every minute? ... or is it a fool and his money are soon parted?

Yeah they unplugged the water bottles thinking they were refrigerated?
I would think selling to the handicapped would be a limited market..but it seems to be quite lucrative in Cali
