Er ... yuk?

It look terrible. Having said that it does seem to be a massive breakthrough I just can't understand why they don't just make it look like a more normal / attractive looking bike! It looks like something out of robocop, you'd look like a right berk riding it

Just my 2 pence Smile

The real question is... how much does it weigh?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Ugly, yes. However... 100 lb-ft torque up to 60mph? I bet it goes like shit off a shovel. Well, until it runs out of juice at least.

Yes but 100 lb-ft of torque is going to do bog all if it weighs 400kg.

With the Tesla weighing almost two tonnes, I strongly suspect we're looking at a 350-400kg bike here.

Especially as the weight is conspicuously absent from the posted specifications...

My biases might be showing but it looks like a sportsbike, possibly a little better looking the Y2K which people drool over for some ungodly reason...

Pah! Electric Vehciles! We were promised this:
