I can update you on a few of these points:

For 2), there is no electric assist (as in no electrical motor). Any reference to electronics refers to the main-board in the handlebar that contains a bunch of sensors and things.

4) The lights are totally rechargable. There is a dynamo in the center of the front wheel hub that generates far more power than the system uses. Its expected that the dynamo will be sufficient as the sole power source. There is one high-capacity battery in the handlebar that powers all electronics.

6) At the moment the bike only notifies you if something moves into the blindspot, however it wouldn't be difficult to make it flash the rear lights at the same time to notify the driver.

This is a pretty cool utility, I never really did like just creating a blank file, I'd rather use an explicit tool

I'll update the article.

Well actually, from a recovery point of view, you get some options. You can mount the image as a block device and perform operations on it. Say the image was corrupted, you could always try to mount the specific partition and run a fsck utility on it.
Well, it provides a perfect copy of the drive, not just a copy on another file system.

I've actually been able to restore to a drive, and when it boots its as though nothing ever happened. Plus its fast.

Its eerie to turn the computer on after knowing you formatted the drive for whatever reason, and your desktop pops up again.
