    Congratulations you invented a rearviewmirror. When car brands make bikes they almost always end up producing bike shaped objects whose main purpose is advertising a car. Just look at the Ford Bronco electric bike for another example.

      VW has done this before with the Trek Golf/Jetta.

      They sell bikes from other makers at a premium and some sell, but mostly they are hoarded by VW collectors who want every accessory for whichever model they own. That said, N+ seems to only make e-bikes for other non-bike brands to market or greenwash with.

      Seems to currently only sell F1 Mercedes branded bikes.
