I'm hoping this was tongue in cheek.

If not, then perhaps an explanation: That picture is of bikes that were rolled out (pun unintended) in China as part of a bike sharing explosion that has since died off. They were heavy AF single speeds designed to be used over and over again with as little maintenance as possible. Thing is though, is that they wound up being strewn all over the place becoming a public nuisance. You'll never see one of them here in the states.

Ford and Jump (others too, I'd imagine) are doing the same app based bike share here, though with much better equipment. In the case of the Jump bikes, you're getting an e-bike capable of a constant 20mph with not all that much rider input.
