Italdesign Gazelle

Kind of an interesting concept but I don't know about these wheels. Also the frame design isn't that cool in my opinion.

Apparently this concept has won the 2017 iF Design Award though:

While I don't like the rims, I find the frame design interesting. And for a guy who likes retro cruiser styling, that is saying a lot...

I love the fender, it reminds me one of giant ebikes which also has integrated head light on the fender.

I love the attempt but this e-bike looks way too futuristic.

The ebike industry could use an annual consumer show, like the Auto show, where they can let the public see all the new models for the upcoming year, and then also introduce concept ebikes to gain feedback.

The frame on that Lexus is amazing

I chose the mag wheel option on my Pedego Interceptor. I was a bit concerned about the look at first but the extra strength, tubeless tire compatibility and lack of spoke issues more than compensated for the appearance. I was surprised to find the front & rear rims together weigh only 4 ounces more than the spoked rims.

These bikes look, to me, more like design just for design's sake, which is often what you get at an auto show. It's really, really hard to design something that is much different then the way bikes have looked like for over a hundred years. Besides, in my mind the idea of riding an e-bike is that it should fly under the radar. It should look as much as possible like a non e-bike and not call attention to itself.
