1. Great review, on my iPad these are always muted with no method to turn on the sound, I always have to get the direct link.
2. So is the bike itself any good? My impression is that is a rich mans toy rather than a serious mountain bike, but then again what I want from an EMTB is the most stripped down experience, with minimal tech, which this is not.
3. Though having said that the motor and battery seem to be very interesting – will they be making it available to other brands?
4. Great to have all that tech, but its seems a bit of a toy as said above. As a real EMTB it needs to be able to take a few knocks, I hate to think how much a new display is because if you have a crash that’s usually the first to go, I say this from experience. Then you have the cameras again costs when they go missing?
   Never the less great to see the anti theft side as theft is getting worse every month.
   The gaming, I’m not quite sure how that works but hey its different and updates over the air that’s fantastic, but we also need to know how much things are going to cost for this sim after 4 years?
   Great review Rob, we’ll have to get out and ride soon
5. Good first impressions review. Making ebikes hi-tech is certainly one route that will become more prevalent in the future. Having only 1080P cameras is a disappointment, although this is probably due to the problem of live streaming 4K. They should have mounted 4K cameras for recording video to an onboard memory module and still provide 1080P live streaming. I was disappointed that no ‘onboard’ video from the trail ride was included as I would be interested to see how the bike mounted cameras handled vibrations. The anti theft features are something that all manufacturers are going to have to address in the future and presents a whole sub-industry for after market solutions.
6. Looks to be a very interesting and complete overall package – and well filmed in a lovely location too! Can definitely see the Greyp being the tip of a new market sector with all the built-in technology (similar to the way the Flyon is going).

   Hi @Rob Hancill, did you tested the heart rate control? Is it more or less like Smart HR in BLEvo? I think it is better because it is already integrated in the bike.. or is the assistance controlled by phone?

   Yes it works very well.
   They liked what you did and have watched the video we made already! They’ve been working on the HR stuff for 2 years b

9. @Rob. Did you see any video from the on board cameras while on the trail? My experience with handlebar/bike mounted pre-Hero 7 GoPro cameras, even with image stabilisation, is that the video is unwatchable due to vibration.
