Could they make it funnier looking???

  To me it looks like it was designed by somebody who knows nothing about bikes.....

What's with the dirt bike styling?

Thats pretty cool.  I imagine it has dirt bike parts to save weight.  Its a good set up for city work which is probably its intention.  Hey you can bound over medians, curbs, potholes, maybe even trials-ride over parked cars.

Looks stupid, has a top speed of 50 mph, and probably weighs an F-ing ton. No thanks.

I kind of doubt it has much power, and is more of a 'moped without pedals' than a motorcycle.
   That seat looks like an afterthought, and I don't see much in the way of lighting to make it street legal.
  If it's designed for the city.....where are you gonna haul stuff?

  Look at the brakes.  They look like bicycle stuff.
  I looked at the manufacturers site.  There's not much more information.
  This thing would have to be more utilitarian for it to work.

And so what do we do with all the spent energy cells? Its hard enough to get rid of old tires.

Oh look, it's a wedgie with wheels.

Cripes, that looks plain uncomfertable.
