Needs paint and for me, a more relaxed fork with some trail.

I think you should book an appointment with an optician, that’s fugley

Clean but boring. If you think wearing all black is cutting edge and beautiful, I guess...

I like their business model of going to market at a sustainable pace and focusing on service as well as sales.
Probably be a long time before they will even be available in NA if at all.

The gear ratio looks huge for a single speed although it is not entirely clear if it is or will be?

I was disappointed that the Denny eBike never got produced: https://www.seattletimes.com/busine...g-denny-bike-wont-go-forward-into-production/

It had some style and redeeming features I felt.

That back end looks stiff and unforgiving. I wonder how harsh the ride would be.

 

[J.R.]

It looks like someone rolled a completely assembled bike into a spray booth and shot it with primer. Fasteners, plastic, tires and cables are the same color as the frame.

The design, although slightly better, is reminiscent of the old eFlow ebike. That was a good bike a few years ago, but the styling wasn't that popular.

I'd even prefer an Ampler:

As long as we are on the subject: https://lunacycle.com/luna-fixed-stealth-ebike/

Not sure why they call it "fixed" as it obviously isn't a fixed gear bike but I guess that moniker invokes hipness? I do say that they are missing the boat if they don't offer an add on water bottle type battery for range extension if necessary that will still maintain the look they and the other offerings here are going for.

Yeah now that is clean.

The key words of the author's statement are "with a removable battery".

Just to prove how uncool I really am, I think my run of the mill Magnum looks better. Plus, my back, arms, hands neck and tail end hurt just looking at it.

I like the simplistic design. If I was to ever build another bike though it would have a suspension.
