Is that a legal bike in your jurisdiction? In California you're riding an unregistered moped, illegally, most likely.
I suspect DJI is aiming for legal bikes that established bicycle manufacturers can sell.

These are popular with a subset of DIY builders because the laws aren't really enforced, so they can get a small electric motorcycle that passes as an e-bike while not adhering to the requirements for a vehicle that powerful.
Some will try to claim that if you set the bike to the lowest power then it's legal, but of course they'll quietly switch the power to whatever they want when riding.
Fun trail bike though (helpful on the uphills, for someone who doesn't typically enjoy that part).
Large portions of the casual bike segment don’t care about weight - other than lifting it on and off their bike rack.
I tried riding the steel thing with no battery and it was not pleasant at all. Compare that to my LunaCycle, even at 50lbs total it's not that bad to ride with no power.
Is it mostly clueless people (like my bro) falling for "It has a battery so heavy bike weight will not matter"?
