Compliants:
1) The BATTERY is in the middle of the frame, NOT the motor. The motor is a front wheel hub drive. (probably geared, from the size of it). This error keeps getting reported over and over again in the article, associated with photos that presumably show the location of the motor, but do not.
2) The motor looks to be 250 watts, not the claimed 2,500 watts.
3) Aluminum handlebars are common on almost all modern bicycles. The article implies aluminum handlebars are not the norm.
4) "It's body is made of the same material as Formula1 (sic) race cars." Not sure what they are implying there, but modern bikes made of steel, aluminum or carbon fiber are all very capable machines, strong and lightweight.
5) Not sure what they mean by "While most e-bikes look clunky, the OKO bike looks cool.". The Specialized and Prodeco ebikes all look pretty spiffy to me, with their primitive frame alloys and "clunky" rear drive hubmotors.
