If you need an incentive (WHAT?! 🌚) to actually ride the bike you bought with your own money - maybe that's not a transportation vehicle you really need.

A better description instead of/along with the clickbait title, maybe? Thanks!

Yup, correct. It's either a single speed belt drive Cooper - or the chain drive models with gears. But the Veloretti in question does not have gears (hence my comparison))

Let me know if you have good belt-drive candidates for a commuting bike: light, geared and electric. Think electrified Mikamaro or (budget friendlier) Schindelhauer (the last ones are built on aluminium frames, though - not my cup of tea)).

No, this is not a lightweight design, it's frigging 27 kg!

It's not cheap either - at least, i've been concidering a Cooper electric single-speed as a belt-drive commuter, and it's half the price of the Veloretti, and almost half the weight (ab. 14 kg vs 27!). It's sad, as i found out Cooper bikes do not ship to Finland (anymore).

Why wouldn't you present your solution without the theatricals?
