Any idea why it was pulled?

I would imagine the common issue with integrated systems applies and makes it expensive: the lifetime and quality of the whole wheel is dictated by the lifetime and quality of the worst part. E.g. the brushless motor may run for years, but a battery cell, or crappy ic breaks in months in bad weather.

I followed Copenhagen in the early years, it seemed like the product was always in "beta". I was waiting to get one once it went into production, but that never came. My guess is something like what you said.

It seems like they have since pivoted to scooters.
