M.A's commentary:
Ok I just wanted to see what E-bikes were like in the USA now a days, they have been established on the road over here for a while and I just wanted to compare features, etc. Nope. Blocked.

Indigo's commentary:
I can't be positive, but I am guessing the E-bikes discussed in this article are a lot more fancy than the ones ridden around in China. Again, I am betting that the Chinese government doesn't want the average citizen to have the ability to compare their quality of life or objects to those in other countries. Hence why the government probably doesn't want this technologically advanced, futuristic E-bike being compared to the ones being ridden around China, because if I recall correctly they are a lot more rustic in nature.

An additional thing to consider is that China is known to be the land of knock-offs. Chinese companies commonly mimic the makings of other brands and simply minutely alter the name like Poma instead Puma, Frada instead of Prade, you get the general gist. This has even extended to vehicles where Chinese companies will copy the make and design of Jeep Wranglers or SUV's. So perhaps the government doesn't want this article seen in China so it can avoid being accused of copyright infringement, perhaps the government is attempting to protect itself from accusations.
