Im curious how does the (normal) braking system work? If the motors helps push against hills it pushes against resistance like the rubber brakes too? Surely its not always regenerative braking? I guess you always have to stop pedaling for that to kick in.. It is nice though to go down a hill or even flat land on free without feeling the resistance of regenerative braking or something slowing you down.. Do we get control over this?

The second was how does it talk to the phone without a SIM card or some kind of internet connection if you're a couple of storeys up in a building where Bluetooth? doesn't have any range?

Otherwise this is pretty awesome, although I do like getting a bit of a workout when going around I like when you want you can move around stressless it would be awesome for 'those days' and not have to use a car.
