The Raleigh One is there, a smart e-bike with a detachable 360Wh battery and a 35Nm rearhub motor combined with a smarthub to the cloud and web. A sharable smart-e-bike with al the security features build in. Also Bikelights integrated and the battery can be charged in and out of the bike, 50% charge in under an hour and fully full under 2 1/2 hours. Fatter tyres for style, comfort and performance.

Would come in Sage and Off White/black combo

Starting at 2699 euro and a subscription plan with 3 packages starting at 7,99 euro per month as I read it.
 
A battery designed to fit the frame, when the frame shape changes in a year and the battery dies in two/three good luck getting a replacement, and who needs a cloud with subscription service, when they go bust you lose all that was available
 
for what I understand the app connection and subscription is an extra service.

Batteries in bike frames.... the good thing about this bike is that the battery is removable, so you can charge it out of the bike, carry a spare etc.

Also for rearrack or downtube external batteries you are in batt luck if the battery system is end off life and the system is no longer being supported (likes Bosch Classic or BES1, the older Shimano STEPS system with the front hub motor and name a few extra) so blaming an internal battery for this.

concerning the app, there is a Base version, a Core version at 7,99 Euro a month, and an Icon version with tracking, insurance and theft control at 14,99 euro a month.

Most batteries fit in the downtube these days. Rare to see an external battery. Most major brands have done this for a number of years. Some are removable, some are not. Plus the batteries they use last a lot longer than just two/three years. My Vado SL battery is still in very good health (Over 93%) coming up to 5 years old. Only cheap batteries decay quickly. Raleigh might go bust, God knows they are not the Imperial Powerhouse sending bikes all over the Empire as they originally were from the 1880s right through to the 1990s and I'm not sure who owns them nowadays, a Dutch company I think? But they're been producing solid reliable bikes for the last couple of decades.

The Dutch angle makes sense looking at the frame design, this new bike has the whiff of the late not so great (and recently resurrected?) Van Moof. Or the Belgian rival (still going strong) Cowboy bikes.

Single speed for flat Dutch roads? Not sure how that will go down on this hilly Island.
