It really is an ugly beast. It reminds me of a bicycle that has been converted into a motorbike by stuffing a Briggs and Stratton engine in the frame.

Motorcyclists are drawn to the aesthetics of bikes because it says something about who they are. The builder of this machine is clearly saying "it's the technology that matters, not my comfort".

A bit of Tupperware to hide the batteries and you wouldn't know what was under there. Love to try it. Electric motors have some serious low end grunt.

I'm surprised he was able to make it to "2nd base" with a bike like that! (Must have been a tech geek chick).

At that point the battery should go belly up.

My Cafe' seat extends over the rear wheel to about where the axle is, and it still throws water on my backside. Ride this bike in the rain, and it could function as an electric bidet!
