I kinda want this and am curious as to the costs.

I would rather not have the motor visible, and even better - in the seat and as removable, because then it won't get stolen so quickly.

I want to use my bike to commute, but for example right now I must take a break from cycling due to an exercise injury, and it doesn't allow me to rely so strongly on my bicycle for commuting.

the sound seems kind of annoying, though.

What the shit... "the recreational cyclist can avoid strenuous activity"

isn't that what bicycling is meant to do? exercise? Why not just ride a moped, if we're trying to avoid exercise?

Another thing, combined claimed weight is ONLY 1900 grams! With some pro riders opting not to wear Livestrong bands just to save weight, do you think a pro rider of the likes of Fabian would want to lug that crap along? The motor alone weighs the same if not more than most high-end frames! I think not.

I don't know about you but it sounds an awful lot like Klaus the talking fish on American Dad. All kidding aside, only a tviggy veekling vud rhide vit such a ting. You might as well relinquish your balls and your USAC license at the nearest LBS and ride an e-bike rather than be the ultimate poseur that rides with one of these things.

It also provides added motivation for manual pedaling, as it will sound like you're constantly being chased by German bees

@ClownFight Great retort. Typical response from someone who's run out of valid arguments (or this guess, never had any to begin with). Like I said, we'll wait and see who's right.

@JTMarlin8 Sorry little fella, I'm only exchanging comments with the grown-ups. Does your mommy know you're using her computer?

Do you mean to tell me no one is going to hear that thing whining in a peloton and wonder what's going on? People complain if somebody's chain squeaks!

[JTMarlin8]

@ClownFight LOL, some loser prosecutor, not affiliated with the UCI, sticks his nose in. Hardly what I'd consider a serious investigation. He won't get Cancellara and he'll come out empty handed, because nobody in the peloton is motor doping.  You can try arguing all you want, the fact is I'll be right.

BTW, why aren't you dead yet?

@JTMarlin8 ROME (AP)—An Italian prosecutor has opened an investigation into allegations of so-called mechanical doping—or motorized bikes that could help cyclists cheat. The ANSA news agency reported that the Turin-based prosecutor had opened a sporting fraud investigation. Guariniello has previously led several high-profile probes on doping. Former professional cyclist Davide Cassani’s reports for Italian TV have fueled speculation that mechanical doping could rival drugs.

Just me then.
