It hurts. It really hurts.

If I left that parked up in Brighton and went for lunch a passing graffiti artist could not ignore such a large, flat surface and overcome by his immoral urge would undoubtedly tag it. It would look better for it.

Yeah I’d happily have that in the garage, even better if it was the size of a grom.

They're trying!

Because it’s designed as a next step for riders already on Super73’s smaller e-bikes, the C1X is deliberately compact. It actually has similar proportions to their current flagship e-bike, the RX,
...
That’s why the C1X rolls on 15” disc wheels
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

I really dislike the child-sized wheels, otherwise I quite like it!

At least it doesn’t have a brown seat.

I like the concept. I look forward to a full size one with a slightly less slabby panel design.

With 17" wheels, a longer seat and a rear mudguard it'd make a nice electric supermoto

If it wasn't such a deliberately offensive paint/sticker job,then one's eyes may become accustomed to the rest.

Pink has no place on a manly motorbicycle,no matter what KFB says.

I like it. Shame about the chain drive though, that's a bit 'Flintstones' on a concept bike.

it's another 'summer-time toy', but at least it looks like a bike.

Really like that - if I lived in and commuted through a big urban area I'd be all over that like a tramp on chips.

That's got potential. I don't like the clown car wheels though.

It's somewhere between - 15" wheels and a 50 inch wheelbase.
