One little jostle and you come back to an uncharged bike. Plugs are good.

This is only a proven if you park your bike drained.
If you use this for topping off, it's a great system.
Uncharged >< drained. It just means it wasn't charged, which is why you put your bike in the charger in the first place.
This kind of feels like a solution in search of a problem.
I mean, it's neat that it's possible to wirelessly charge a bicycle through its kickstand, but I don't see many people being willing to pay $300 for it.
I hope that isn't the future, because that's a very long list of down sides for very few positive aspects. Plugging my bike in every few days is not something that has ever felt like it needed optimization. It takes basically zero effort and roughly 5 seconds, so why put all that effort into something that works less reliably?
