I argee. If we have learned anything from Musk and Tesla its that if you
make a stylish E Car that looks like a stylish Ice Car then it will sell.
The same should follow with E bikes. Zero sells, looks like a sport bike.
Brammo sells a bit less looking good but a bit strange for some tastes.
Mission is a great bike but its hard to sell a bike to the masses at the
price Mission commands. This concept thing looks like an "old school" large
suitcase with wheels tacked on. someone might like it but its not my style.
Style, look, color, these things sell cars and bikes. Even performance runs
a second. Would you drive a YUGO if it had Corvette price and drivetrain.
