I'm not feeling it, but it doesn't matter what I think.

Looks like you put Brembos, Ohlins, and wheels on an old gas heater.
Where's the pilot light?

Too bad I couldn't make it to my destination without stopping and recharging. Also I'm sure the 150 mile range is if you hold it "exactly" in the same position going "exactly" the same speed (most likely very slow).

Maybe fun to drag race or stunt, but I'll pass.

I like the wheels. I wasn't a fan a first glance. After hearing it was electric I would love to take it for a ride just to see what its like.

I like the kid that converted his Kawasaki to electric. Looked a lot better.

i think its fucking gay. for me the whole point of the bike is a closer bond between man and machine or more specifically the engine. What fun is a bike going to be that makes no sound? for that money ill take the all carbon fiber bimota db7 diavolo rosso

There's plenty of bikes with clipons that low, in relation to the seat.

The real problem with that bike, besides looking fucking dumb, is that the fuel tank is shaped incorrectly. It is sloped forward too much at the crotch, which would not provide enough support to the rider.
