Nice looking but sure if it will be popular

That is hideous in the extreme:eek:

The only positive thing that I can say is that it's a minor distraction from the Avatar beside ito_O

I agree with John this is what a board racer should look like

Not to Dissimilar to Chris Combers 1950's board racer with BBS conversion
which is in an un- refurbished aged condition but looks just great.

I quite like the retro style bikes. Im guessing it's because I like the old style motorcycles. This bike would be called a prom rider where I used to live in Blackpool.image.jpg

View attachment 11537 Diffrent don't like the plastic engine block though
In many ways, it stands out, like clothing may at a high brow fashion show, as to what may actually be produced as an electric bike, rather than the expected look of the end product we see these days. If that makes any sense!

Pedal bikes designed around an electric motor will change people's perception of a pedal bike if designers embrace the technology and go whacky with their designs. I don't like it but it's good to see how designers may lure in their customers in the future with electric bike designs.
