Vivax/Gruber shown for cheating on TV, "60 Minutes"

[spinningmagnets]

We have known about the Vivax / Gruber "hidden" assist system for a while. This TV program has such a huge audience, for many people?...this will be the first time they have heard about electric bikes. According to the inventor, he was paid 2-million dollars for a 10-year exclusive to not sell these to anyone, even the general public (1998-2008).

This program is about cheating in the Tour de France race. First aired on CBS, Sunday night, January 29, 2017
