I'm curious if they really could just copy something from the motorcycle world? In particular, I would imagine that the constraints on weight and power that can be applied by the user are very very different.

Yeah, I think a number of these comments are significantly disregarding the engineering challenges faced in bicycle manufacturing. I suspect trying to design a < 7kg bike that can withstand the forces of a 90kg rider putting out 1500+ watts would make many moto engineers pull their hair out.

There’s a reason many innovations in the bike world have come from aerospace.
