vw ebike fits in spare tire space in trunk

Neat!

The bike has a range of 12.5 miles, and it's designed to draw a charge from the car itself so you won't need to worry about plugging it in.

mavic, you suck ASS

D: I just wasted five minutes of my life.
Since I cannot find how to set up my odometer to my tire size in your 'manual',
I checked your web site. Again.
Five minutes of pointless slick flashy animations later, there is still no sign of a complete and preferably language-specific manual.
Or, in fact, manuals for ANY of your products.

Or contact information of any sort.

I'd just like to say it again.

Mavic, you SUCK.
