It's popped up on my Firendface a few times over the last couple of day, I wondered when it was going to appear on here :)

I kinda like it.

I imagine the large expanse of black plastic under the seat looks better in pictures that it does irl.

Some bits I like but overall it reminds me of the kind of bikes that appear in kids playsets.

They look like bolted on covers to me.

Yeah, whatever they are really, I just dislike solid look wheels in whatever form.

The lines of the tank unit seem (to me) to conflict with the curves of the frame

It looks silly but in a good way, I like it.

Looks like it's trying to impersonate an electric bike to me.

That was exactly my thought as soon as I saw it... just as electric bikes have been trying to 'distance' themselves from conventional-looking motorcycles and largely failing to appeal to existing riders as a result.
