First Wireless Electric Bike To Launch In US - BikeRadar

Including wireless brakes (yikes). It looks like an April Fools joke, but who knows?

Disc brakes get very hot on long downhills, so enclosing them is daft.

Otherwise interesting, but I'm not sure about the legality of wireless brakes, they could be banned in some countries. For example, cars in the UK must have a mechanical handbrake, cable or rod operated, to help cover failures in the main hydraulic system.

Yuk won't do?

Yuck seems a very adequate description.

Wouldn't those wheels be a tad tricky if a decidedly decent gust of wind caught them?
