If Duplo made bikes that'd be the bike they made.

That front mudguard is too short, the entire bike is going to get covered if it gets caught in the rain.

The trouble is I like the more traditional look of a seat and tank on a bike, so im not sure what to think of leccy bike styling if they go this way? I'll get used to it I suppose?

I think the idea behind it is to emphasis "minimal" bodywork to make it look light and make people think "Oh, that looks lighter than most bikes, it should go further on a charge".
To be fair though - traditional tank/saddles can add weight (both to the look as well as the physical dimensions of a bike).

Looks like they took their inspiration from one of those rocking kiddie bikes you stick in a 50p to get a ride.
I'd still take a go.

I really don't get all this styling in e-bikes - either to look like something from Star Trek from the 24th century, or something bashed together by a neanderthal in a cave.
