Behold BMW’s new e-bike: the Cruise (top speed 25km/h, weight 24kg, range 85km).
The bike has a 250W electric motor powered by a lithium ion battery under the bottom bracket. There’s also an onboard computer and a choice of cycling ‘modes’ including ‘eco’, ‘tour’, ‘sport’ and (ahem) ‘speed/turbo’.
No word on price or release date as yet, but the first 1000 units will be sold only in Germany.
The bike’s non-electric 2009 predecessor is currently on special offer at €700.
Oh, it’s (nearly) ON.

What you may need to know.
1. Ryan Gosling does studio crap like Gangster Squad (2013) so he can do little indie movies like this.
2. Place Beyond The Pines reunites The Gos with the dude who made Blue Valentine (2009), officially the worst date movie EVER (with the possible exception of Amour).
3. Bradley Cooper is an indie guy now? Really?
4. Fact: simple backwoods folk do not actually look like Eva Mendes.
5. @ 1’26: LIOTTA!
6. It’s two hours and twenty minutes long. We’re factoring in at least an hour of Ryan on his bike, pouting.
Release Date: April 12
