I'm more interested in that battery tech:

In addition to the new e-bike models, Rad Power Bikes is unveiling its new Safe Shield Battery. The redesigned battery was developed to mitigate growing concerns over battery safety by incorporating thermal-resistant technology.

I'm really happy they got UL certified, I realize this community tends to really like DIY solutions, but if I'm going to recommend an ebike to my parents or to strangers, no way am I recommending one without a lot of safety certifications.
