Apologies if it's been done,but it was new to me.

Not being a fan of the leccy market bikes,it actually looks not bad. A decent styling effort. Anyone fancy some Indian powered velocipedes?

It reminds me a teeny-tiny bit of the Philippe Starck designed Aprilia Moto 6.5.

I like it.

I hate the old fashioned saddle. Needs a subfrsme and proper seat. The scrambler looks better because of the mudguard extension behind the saddle.

The Mignet version is my preferred choice.

They've got one of those in the reception area with its para-drop metal 'crate' fitted to it. Quite an interesting looking thing.

It looks horribly impractical. No pillion space. No luggage space.

Sounds like the first bikes are coming out on 10th April in India.

Early review here https://www.bikewale.com/expert-r ... de-review/

Some details on the motor

I’m waiting to hear more on the leccy Himalayan they are developing, more my cup o tea but if they price the Flying Flea right I might be tempted.

US$3000 in local currency in India for the launch.

If they can keep it ~ 4k stering, it'll upset some of the other names in the EV market
