Designed as an urban commuter, the electric 2-wheeled bike was conceived of as “an object, not just a traditional motorcycle” ... limited run of just 400 electric motorcycles. ... “I’m talking about beyond urban mobility; I’m talking about art, performance, and the pure joy of motion: each curve, each line meticulously crafted to form the perfect union of form and function… we’ve created more than just a mode of transportation. We’ve crafted an experience…”
Jesus fucking Christ, Poindexter. Nobody but you cares. We're not buying art nouveau paintings. We want vehicles that that actually work, are practical, and don't have their functionality or ergonomics compromised by dumbass "visionary" design elements.
Also:
Without the need for a clutch or gears, the DAB 1α is significantly lighter when compared to the average 600-pound gas fueled bike – a godsend for anyone who needs to park their bike.
Tell me you know nothing about motorcycles without telling me you know nothing about motorcycles.
As usual, the problem with this is battery density and until that problem is cracked these types of things will never graduate to being anything more than narrow-purpose urban hipster runabouts which is fine enough in and of itself if that's what you need, but they are not replacements for what most current motorcycle owners in the US want.
