Thats quite tasty looking... For an electric bike?.... Wonder what range and speed will be.

I think it looks awesome, i really like it. Kinda looks like someone has crashed a new fireblade into the back of an old caferacer in some kinda weird experiment...

But it's nice, i'd have one now if it had a petrol engine/the electric one wasn't terrible/cost a fortune to replace batteries...

Not bad, I'd lick a 12v battery for a go on that (and I hate licking batteries).

[DaveB]

That's a cool looking bit of kit. Liking that a lot.

I dont like it. Looks like someone has done a cut n shut job with two completely different styled bikes.

Electric bikes do seem to be all about the styling - which is understandable as the internals are all very basic relatively and are still rather limited by battery power.

So far I think they only really make sense for short-distance town commuting.
Have recently joined the 'electric vehicle' club with a two wheeler, though mine's a mountain bike. Liking it so far - push bike means less hassle than a motorbike and it still easily beats a car around town.

Wow, that does look pretty sweet! Wonder what the price would be...

Looks fugly. Could just be that paint scheme, but it just doesn't look good

I'd never trust a bike looking like that on the back end just doesn't look safe expect a bar to at least hold the seat up.

Does remind me of a street fighter that someone created on here though (Pure black bike) mixed with an Italian sports bike.

I'd have one if it wasn't for current battery tech having a life of ~5 years. To replace costs an arm and a leg. Really like the look of it though.

They say 250cc class body, but what actual power class is this EV in?
