Not quite the same. Motors, etc. different. Might or might not be the same.

SGD1600. https://mobot.sg/shop/electric-bicycles-ebike/orca-electric-bicycle/
It’s not the same as Costco model. One piece rims vs spoked, 250W motor vs 500W, etc.
Yeah the Costco Gen3 one is spoked wheels 500W motor.
Seems like Gen3 is a division of Ubio Labs. So bike to assembled in Washington?

The Orca is suited for Singapore... after all, highest point is Bukit Timah at 163m. No need for powerful motor or high capacity battery!
Gen3 probably just shipped semi-assembled. The spoked wheels will be stronger than the one-piece rims on the Orca.
Spoked wheels more expensive from what I read.

So beautiful... I really enjoyed visiting Banff years ago, staying at Chateau Lake Louise in spring. The chipmunks there are super cute, super fat, and out of control! They kept running into the hotel for snacks, and weren't afraid of people. They would just flop down to snooze in the sun.
The scenery you have beats anything east of the Rockies here. All I have nearby are the Appalachian "mountains". Max height only about 2000m. They used to be as tall as the Himalayas, but they're so old that they've worn down to nothing.
I'd migrate to Alberta for the scenery alone if it wasn't so cold!

Yes, because they have to be built by hand, and trued by hand. Stronger too.
Yeah that's exactly what the article said. Done by hand. Single piece alloy done by machine.

Cheap! If you have to throw it away because it isn’t good, it won’t hurt much. Weird frame, but you can’t argue with $300+. If you find that wife and self like this, then it makes sense to spend more $, but now too early.
Actually with Costco return policy can return with full refund.
I asked Costco they said can return within a year no problem.
It seems to have quite good reviews though. 350W motor is powerful for the low price.
And many modifications can change the battery etc.
I figured $399.99 for 1 e bike. 2 is $800. The Gen3 groove is $1699 for ONE bike. Go budget lah. LOL!

Late summer early fall we tried doing this. I think we only managed to go 6 km one way only. The upslopes very jia lat.
Probably also cos we didnt know how to use gears.
For fun lah. Next summer bike in the mountains. Different trails.

The ebikes you get in Sinki are of inferior makes cos local importers will get them at cheapo prices and mark up astronomically. This is the way business man can make money and keep mistresses or fxxk their female employees.

I saw a similar one parked outside a mall, also black but a different brand.
