These two photos of the new Curtis (prototype?) electric motorcycle were posted on the Elmoto forum.  I'll let you be the judge of the styling.  ???

Doesn't look very... comfortable. But it's a prototype, right?

That thing is stone ugly....  Also looks like they adopted Honda's old adage....  If 200 lbs. is good, 400 pounds is better....
