The bikes are heavy but better balanced then the old Charm city bike shares. As I pedaled, I waited for the moment the power assist would kick in like KITTs Turboboost.

@pgbovine In my work, I’ve found “touch features” to be problematic and instead want touch translation features that convert touches into mouse clicks and mouse events.
