Caterham’s Classic e-bike

Caterham charged to produce e-bikes and motorcycles

The e-bike is totally bonkers and near unrideable with that geometry. Whoever designed that has never ridden a bike.

Well... They're certainly different.

For the life of me, I can't see anyone wanting to be seen on either of those with a 250w motor struggling up Caterham by-pass

Daresay they'll end up in private collections & never see the road or trail.

Well at least they didn't describe it as a bicycle

I wouldn't mind a play on the Brutus, but the ebikes look like rides stolen from a carousel

Perhaps they are just trying to deflect attention from their F1 team's performances:

“It's obviously disappointing to finish the season like this, and to end in eleventh place in the championship,” team principal Cyril Abiteboul admitted.

I would foward my name as test rider position if Redbull ever come up with one. After all it would only take me a couple of minutes to walk to the factory.

The classic looked familiar when I first saw it, but I couldn't quite recall why. You are spot on with nicked from a fairground ride. That definitely is why it looks familiar.

I had a Caterham car a few years ago. That was dangerous, but fun.

Their ebikes just look dangerous, but they have forgotten the fun. Ultimately, I think that they will be highly forgettable and make no impression on the Ebike market.
