Kinda cool. Could be fun. I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Novelty for now, they surely need some design help.

judging by the fact that the side looks about like an old streamliner trailer... i'd say not so great.

It's almost like a sail, but balanced out by the weight of the batteries, would be interesting to see how it holds up

I'd ride it just to see what it can do, but I think the steering would just feel too off. They really need to redesign it. I do believe that the target market, young liberals or bleeding heart earth huggers would not be buying it, the cost just puts it out of range. I don't see personally why they have to cost that much, you can convert a gas bike at much less than that, even with it not being production line.

I'm not sure I understand.. I understand how the wheel itself turns but the handlebars don't look like they turn/move, or do they turn independently (but synchronized)?
