You forgot about power steering, plus heated seat and side mirrors. Oh, and a vacuum pump for the power brakes. And, of course, a heavy 1kW alternator to run all of the accessories. Did anyone mention the wide, low profile tires on alloy rims (optional, but standard in the DLX trim version)?

Kinda reminds me of the Twike: at first it was supposed to be a pedal-powered vehicle with electric assist, but the batteries, motors, etc., got so heavy that it ended up being electric with pedal-assist.
