I was at the Bike Shed yesterday, and they were displaying the new 2026 U.S. Verge model. It does indeed have a brake pedal and will keep the left-hand brake lever for the rear as well, so you can use both, an updated TFT screen (wasn't powered up on the display stand) and is a bit more finished looking. The solid-state battery also allows for a lighter motor, putting the overall weight of the bike under 500 pounds. I was invited to come back in a few weeks to test ride the updated model. I will, just for kicks!
You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
