This are the guys that came up with the motorcycle streamlining article. Looks and sounds good, if it can be designed and built as they propose (which I doubt as I have become a little critical over the years regarding electric motorcycle concepts):   ???

current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.

28.5 kWh battery pack yielding 236 miles/380 km sounds good to me.
750 lbs / 340 kg of weight, not so thrilling.
Maybe I'll have to wait for graphene batteries or something!

I share your skepticism about new projects in this field; and their website is pretty serious looking: lots of partners and an interesting crowd-funding approach where you can foster a battery. Might work.

And you can offer them shelter if they happen to pass by your location on their around the world trial run!
Once you go EV, gas is history!
