Gonna go ahead and disagree with you there Billy Brown: E-bikes in general don't really look dorky, but you managed to find one that does.

Looks like a wannabe dirt bike. Also the lack of cross beam means that thing will likely fold after hitting a speed bump.

The aluminum frame looks pretty beefy, I don't think it'll fold. But your legs better be the right height for this thing because there isn't any adjusting the seat height.

I think the seat bracket is corner bracing the top of the triangles to make up for the lack of seat tube

Definitely dorky

LOL this was my exact thought. I actually kinda like the way it looks, but it has the same energy as an engineering student inventing his own ebike in the 1980s.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
