The 'World's First Chainless E-Bike' Raises Some Questions

It's a bike that's built for people who hate bikes, basically.

This promo for a new, high-end e-bike called Footloose left my mind littered with questions. Is it really that slow? Why are there pedals but nobody's pedaling? Why aren't people picking it up – too heavy?

And why on earth does the camera at 0:40 segue to a shot of boiling water? If this wonder-bike can make coffee for me in the morning, I might be tempted to break the bank for its rumored $3,900 to $5,100 price tag.
