Looks like it.
It’s nifty, but I’m not a fan of motorized hubs. They throw the weight balance off and are a pain when it’s time to hop a curb.

Yep....but since it is only sold in Europe and is damn near $6,000 I’ll be passing on it. I’m pretty sure I could buld one like it for much, much less. Now....Does anyone here have the ability to make a frame for me?

Not me but... This guy is a nice guy and makes some kick ass bicycle frames. Maybe a bit expensive though...

I need one of these but the price is out of this world. It’s like a motorcycle you can use as a bike but then crank it up when you are tired. Get in all the places motorbikes are prohibited.

Rigid forks? How fast does it go?

Don’t know, but if I build my own it will have active front forks. I prefer not being shaken to death on the roads.

I don't recommend it. There is no seat tube which reduces a lot of strength. And steel flexes.

It’s not really a high speed bike so it shouldn’t be too bad, but I will keep that in mind. I put them on my beach cruiser a few years back and they are still as strong as they were when I put them on.

build one yourself?

If I can get the frame made by someone with that set of skills, then yes, the rest I’m pretty sure I can do...and do it for much less than the $6,000 that thing costs.

Ill garuntee you its not the frame that makes it cost 6 grand...

Even a high capacity battery and controler and motor unit don’t cost that much. What do you think it is?

You could get one of these instead. http://vintageelectricbikes.com/ Not quite as sleek, much more of a traditional Bicycle look, but still pretty cool. Nice to see that they’ve got two models now.

You’re paying for the style.
