It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Congratulations you invented a rearviewmirror. When car brands make bikes they almost always end up producing bike shaped objects whose main purpose is advertising a car. Just look at the Ford Bronco electric bike for another example.
Ford finally made a reliable way to get home.
VW has done this before with the Trek Golf/Jetta.
They sell bikes from other makers at a premium and some sell, but mostly they are hoarded by VW collectors who want every accessory for whichever model they own. That said, N+ seems to only make e-bikes for other non-bike brands to market or greenwash with.
Seems to currently only sell F1 Mercedes branded bikes.
it kills me that it's not even a fat tire
i am very curious what the saddle would be like though
