A bike (probably) filled with proprietary parts and with a giant illuminated VW logo on the front and rear?
Absolutely not.
The light up logos are so insanely corny.
I should go debadge my car. They never paid me to advertise!
I bought aftermarket mask without the badge for my own car but it looked weird without the logo. Somehow it's apparently part of the design. I ended up just plastidipping the original mask then instead so now it still has the logo but it's matte black and not chrome. From the tailgate I removed it entirely.
Seem a fair few ebikes that look incredibly proprietary and I wouldn't want to touch it because of that. Much prefer a standardised battery I can plug into a hub motor if I was to get an ebike. Currently just using a regular bike.
Woukd be nice of they at least standardised the damn charging!
