This website is a bit confused and confusing to be honest.
I have no idea what the product is.
Is it the bike?
Is it this app that is vaguely referred to and doesn't describe what it does...?
Is it a service of some sort?
Is it a combination of some of these things?
No where does it state what this VanHawk thing is.
Yet there is a tech spec for a bicycle, which holds no relation to the one pictured.
Most curious.
The only thing it does definitively state is the "we ride the same, archaic bicycles to and from work every day, disconnected from our environment and ourselves"
Which is utterly false.
To describe the commuting machines I see each morning as archaic is a non starter.
And as for cycling being something that is "disconnected form our our environment and ourselves"... just horseshit.
