Apparently "It looks stunning from any angle"

For my money "It looks stupid from any angle". So they were almost right.

It looks like a tail fairing collapsed on itself by going backwards

Is it a make of bike or an aftermarket add on?

I like the abstract design of the bike, pretty unique I think.

How would you even sit on it? Drape yourself over it or what?

Do you ride it or shag it? Is it one of those sex machine thingies?

I'll play up to what I guess is my cliche at this point - but they should make one in the shape of a scooter! Hide all the batteries underneath the seat, put the engine where the CVT transmission[1] would be, it'll (still) have terrible weight distribution, but the acceleration figures ought to be great.

Low noise, twist + go, short range, it's set up for urban friendly travel. I'd consider it.

As a big bike replacement? Not a chance, not until there is a decent quick refuelling mechanism for electric vehicles.

[1] Yes I know that's redundantly redundant

Kryten can fuck off until the range is sorted.

I would buy one, but I'm gonna wait for the flying cars that are coming out in 2015

From the comments

"Is it road legal for a 16 year old in the UK?"
Declan Horton, Gloucestershire - 2nd June 2011

Firebox says: "If you get the gearing reduced and have a provisional license then yes!"

Is this true?

Don't see any reason for it to look like that because it is or isn't electric.

One of the issues with these 'new tech' (or in the case of electric, very old tech) bikes is that people seem to want to spend a lot of the money on funky designs that have been disregarded for ICE bikes for good reasons (mostly, they're stupid and ugly, I suspect.)
Does distract a bit from how basic the electric bikes tend to be.

saw one of these at the london bike show last year..

i was wandering next to my dads mate at the time and his exact response when he saw it was 'what the ferk is that thing?!!??!'...... with the pr girl stood right behind him

got all 'polite' when she took the opportunity to explain.

tbf only stood around listening as she was easy on the eyes..

Has to be the best selling point:

[jackw72]

It's the beginning of the end of the beginning of the beginning.

If it just looked like an 09 blade it would be fairly awesome 100 mile range in town is plenty really for commuting n tingaling. Use a petrol tingaling for longer journeys + fun.

120nm torque is fairly good yes?

This certainly isn't the 'begging' - lots more interesting stuff out there .

No, it won't be legal for a 16 year old.

However, possible that you could make something to restrict the power - and then you've got the interesting prospect on one bike that can do everything from a 50cc ped to a 600cc sports bike (and better acceleration, though restricted top speed and massively restricted range.)
