This Lemmo One, by industrial design and mobility firm Springtime, is an "E+bike." It's so named because it's an ordinary bike until you slap the removable battery onto it.
"Through a break-through and patented innovation, the bike can be both ridden as an E-bike as well as a conventional bike," writes Springtime. "This is achieved by a removable battery pack (Smartpac) and by adding a clutch to the hub motor, which can completely take away any resistance from the motor (Dual Mode Hub)."
"The Smartpac can easily be taken off the bike and be used as a power bank for your mobile devices."
The bike is up for pre-order at €450 (USD $472), but it appears to be EU-market-only.

I think this article confused a 450 Euro savings for early-bird purchases with the actual cost - that's closer to 2300 Euro.
Hi, thx for covering our LEMMO bike! The LEMMO One has been on the market for 2 years now (there is a mk 2 model), and is doing very well. Unfortunately not for EUR 450 as you mention, but that shouldn't come as a surprise... ;-).
