I’m bit confused as to their market to be honest, but I’m possibly out of
touch but while I see E MTB in that sort of price range, and Cargo bikes
both of which make sense, carbon E bikes for commuting? I’m less convinced
by and certainly don’t see examples on London’s streets.

To be fair the speed limiter would come into play, the folks who cycling in
to the city from South West London would be averaging that sort of speed
some above. As the roads cycle lanes allow for moving fast, so one can
cycle the 15/20 miles in a hour ish.

If I ever want to ride a fast motorcycle again, I think I'd go with a

Yep, as so often the best choice is usually Italian.
Yep... to be made in Thailand :-)

Given Italian taxes and labor law, that makes perfect sense. For the same reason Campagnolo product is made in Romania (with Italian engineering and tooling).
Average industrial labor wage :
USA $28.34
Italy $16.96
Romania $10.40
Thailand $2.69

With some uncertainty. I assumed 40 hour week and 2000 hour year ("union year") but IIRC Thai and other Asian workers commonly work longer per day and six day weeks so wage above may in fact be lower. And AFAIK, being a long term customer, Thai labor is no less skilled.
