Design looks is not for me.... good observations in the article regarding the mirror based speedo/battery info. not sure what effect the scoop has on the aero of the bike..(the front end). doesn't look aero to me.
still, interesting enough to comment on..does look kinda like an insect or something.
i'm not allowed to get a bike anyway....thankfully i had my crotch rocket fun prior to marriage :)

One will definitely stand out when one is riding that. If one wants and can afford an electric bike that stands out, this would be for you.
It looks like a snail on wheels, perhaps an alien snail? The body looks like it came from siding taken from a barn. The price is a very high for an electric bike.

Zero protection form the wind means lots of drag and, therefore, lowered riding range. Can't imagine it would be comfortable in the least - but maybe that's not the objective here. Let's see some sort of fairing, even if it looks like they adapted it from a lobster tail. Tech specs all look good though.

hdm is correct . . . IF this thing looked like a Harley and had colors and chrome I would buy this ! and be proud to show it off. . . .

Why not a true hub motor? and were is storage for small/mid sized items?

Needs a tail, mane and a saddle horn, and it's ready to round up them little doggies.

200 Km is a nice range, but the real question is how long does it take to recharge. I fuel up and can go another 150 miles in under 10 minutes.

The article’s title drew me in. That in mind, my first glimpse of this bike made me chuckle. I’m still chuckling. One thing that stands out is that there is no wind screen. No mention of a top speed either. Apparently they don’t expect it to go very fast; in keeping with the snail motif.

gotta admit I was turned off by the looks initially,
but for some strange reason I continue to find myself clicking on this article to get another look.
hum... I am not un-decided about the looks.
