Arresting appearance.

4 disks in front.
200 Nm torque.
Good grief.

The most attractive part of the design is the orange charging cable!

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Looks better in the Autoblog Green photos...Not my style, but I do like that it keeps most of the body flat and covered...like the Enertia...

Not my style either, but I can appreciate how Harley/Victory/Indian/Brutus cruiser folks will have their pulses quicken with this offering. But IMHO, for a company striving to come back from bankruptcy, this seems like a good place not to start.

That article states:

"The battery packs inside the electric motorcycle can be recharged in less than 30 minutes to 80% of its capacity using a simple socket that can be plugged into a standard outlet at home."

With a 12.8 kWh pack, how is that possible, even with a standard outlet in Europe being 240V? (I wish I knew something about electricity!)
