Love it or hate it?

Suki2003 · August 13th, 2015, 01:42 PM

I won't even get started on the lack of functionality of this bike. But for me, there is too many styles going on. like the wheels and suspension look from a bike built in the 2000's. The white and red plastics could be from something Little Tykes make. And the seat, well, comfort is a no, but it may work on another bike.

a strong no from me.

Cheers

Imma pass on this one. Interesting design though.

NGagne · August 13th, 2015, 01:45 PM

Designe Cool but utility doughtfull

cbinker · August 13th, 2015, 02:04 PM

does it come with pedals to charge the bike or make it home when the batteries die?

NevadaWolf · August 13th, 2015, 02:14 PM

Don't love it, but don't hate it. It's design is definitely a pass for me though.

I do like this comment though from http://www.gizmag.com/e-raw-electric-motorcycle/38904/

Looks like it does.

(I could be wrong)

I mostly like it. I like that they dare to not just make it not resemble a gasoline powered moto with a fake fuel tank. It looks very light with good packaging of the motor and battery pack. The open architecture would present minimal sidewind disturbance. The down side is the lack of cargo and passenger carrying capability. However, since its basically just the core mechanicals , it would be easy to modify it to meet one's needs.

Looks hip (synonymous with tacky). Makes me want to cringe.

Belt drive is alright in my eyes, but the wooden seat, Bakelite plastic, and coffee can speedo/phone mount thingy? Come on.

VaFish · August 15th, 2015, 02:29 PM

Except for the seat, I like the rest of the bike. If it was reasonably priced and had a decent range I would buy it.

iamjacob · August 19th, 2015, 05:03 PM

Wow,

With all the dislike in the comments I figured the poll would have been weighted more towards the Hate side (6 Likes / 8 Hates at posting).

I really like the look of it but I'm sure it's not comfortable at all. Specifically the fact that it looks there is nowhere for your thighs to grip when you ride.

need a 50% button for voteing. I like some of the design and the general idea but not the entire thing

Hate it!

ninjamunky85 · September 2nd, 2015, 01:53 PM

I just want an electric dirt bike so I can ride in places that I'm not supposed to without attracting attention.

For the street though I'll stick to gas powered for the foreseeable future. I enjoy the sound, feel, and even the smell of a gasoline engine.

I'm eyeing dual sports and/or SM conversions, like the CRF250L. I'm right there, wanting to soup it up because tinkering is fun, but at the same time, I want it to be silent so I can sneak around without being discovered. That's why mountain bikes are so badass with 1.5" 'slick' tires on them. You can ride miles of road to get somewhere you want to go exploring, but at the same time if you know how to ride, 1.5" slicks are more than capable for exploration.

Silent sneakery!
