Now that thing looks GOOD. Weight is also impressive, compared to GreyP, example. Price is bit salty. No front suspension?

I like the look. It would be a fun ride on the kart track, where it's mostly nice and smooth. In street mode, you'd need to have that meal or drink on the patio for sure. Maybe chained to your ankle.

Icon makes some amazing stuff. I've been drooling over their off road builds for a long time. Its nice to see a high profile custom car builder start taking on Ebikes.

Do you think they were inspired by this instructable from 2009?

A Seductively Retro E-Bike, Yours for $5,000
IMO: Too spendy for too few basic features.
Mine is better, KF

I would be interested on how signing a waiver gets around the speed limit.

The Vintage/Icon is pleasant enough to ride and all that...But so so so heavy...It's closer to 80 lbs than 65... mostly due to the crazy over size bolts (I've seen smaller bolts holding up the mast on a 40 foot sailboat) and the metal battery case. But you sure do get a lot of looks rolling around town on one. They finally started putting a battery level light on too. Before, it was really easy to have it turned on by accident...we had a couple off close calls when people would randomly push the throttle!

I didn't think about it until later...But after I posted that I realized I was still wearing my Vintage swag work shirt! Lol...

This one sold within an hour of assembling it... it was the best looking one I've seen so far with the aircraft silver paint and invert fork.
They are pricy, but it does cost to have a really sweet Phil Wood hub, special oem Shimano brakes, the sand cast battery case, Brooks leather washer grips, the removable speed key, and the other touches that make it not a regular turn key bike. Though you could definitely build something lighter and cheaper, it would be hard to get the shiny glow off of all the parts that you notice when you see the bikes first hand.

Wow, what a professionally produced video, whoever did it needs some kind or award!
Of note: not one pedal was turned in the making of that video, not one! An interesting slant on their marketing technique?.
