Design penned by a 5 year old? Looks a bit of a mish mash.

It's different. Thats something that is getting harder and harder to say these days where every manufacturers bike likes just like the others but in a different colour.

It's the type of bike i'd like to buy and convert to electric. Plenty of rooms for parts to go inside it, and weight is less of an issue on something cruiser styled.

Too True.
Worse, once upon a time they made a basic all-round motorbike, and left it to the owners inginuity & bank balence to adapt to thier taste; adding clip-ons & rearsets for a cafe-racer, or ape-hangers and foreward pegs for a chopper.
Now they even try doing that for us.... I mean once upon a time they offered 'Sports-Bikes' and 'Factory-Customs', but NOW!?
Race Replicas are virtually race-clones, Full on cruisers look like Kit-Chops, and they even try making factory street-fighters now....
Watch out... how long until we get a factory 'Rat-bike'!

I think that that is probably one step TOO far..... STYLED!?!

OK, maybe some kind of homage to the Sinclair C5..... Hmmm MAYBE you are on to something....... pair of little wheels at the back, perhaps? Maybe a big pair of pedals on teh frot wheel!

I saw one of these for the first time today, I knew it was a scooter thing but I thought it was a bit bigger than 250cc Neutral . Was in black, didn't like it to much tbh.

To be fair the Chinese do build ready ratted bikes.

Looks like someone has rode a cruiser into the back of a varadero clone :s

Where do they manage to find such cheap plastic??

I can attest to this. The amount of ratting I had to perform was minimal, with my one.

It doesnt look much different to that super scooter thing that Honda made in the late 80s, the Pacific Coast pc 800.

The PC800 wasn't a super scooter.

I know, I owned one for a while, they went very well but they did look like a large scooter but had gears and a clutch. The thing in the picture doesnt look much different with the fully enclosed body work.
