^^^   This makes me think of a vacuum cleaner on two wheels.   [laugh]   The Lotus at least seems more like some show cruiser version of a Tron Light Cycle.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Lol,   I like the vacuum cleaner analogy.  I think you are kinda spot on.  Still like it more than the Lotus though as it was highly stylized and followed a form over function rule.

I like old weird bikes though. 
Two things I don't do.  Keyboard bullies and hypocrites.
Feel free to PM me if needed, otherwise you will find me elsewhere.

in some angles, i like it..   as a lotus enthusiasts, less is more, lighter is better..  guess it goes with the monster likeability as well..  lol, maybe if i had money to throw around, i'd get one with my exige (when i get one)

Way off in the distance, I hear what sounds like a turbine spooling up.
RrrrrrruuuuuuuuueeeeeeeeeeeeSqueeeeeeeeeeEEEEEE.
Oh, that's Colin Chapman spinning in his grave.

What, no one here likes Tron?  I'd rock it. 
Occasionally AFM #702  My stuff:  The M1000SS, a mashed r6, Vino 125, the Blonde, some rugrats, yuppie cage, child molester van, bourbon.

I like it, but I do wonder about how it will handle.  Daniel Simon is an amazing designer.

Carbon fiber monocoque...

Based on the renderings that means "impossible to service" and "worse than Ducati's MotoGP bikes to ride."

I saw this today on another site, and I'm not sure what I think about it.  I'd want to see one in person, but good or bad, either way it is an interesting concept.

from a lotus guy   

"As has been mentioned, these are NOT related to Group Lotus, Lotus Cars, Lotus Sport, or Lotus Engineering at all. They're done by a different company who licensed the name during the Bahar era and the current managers weren't able to squash the deal. They were designed by the guy who designed the light bikes in the new Tron movie, which is why they look similar"

Looks like 3 different bikes squished together. Not sure what I think about it.

I like it.  [thumbsup] nice curves, seems like all the new bikes have sharp angles which does not appeal to me. At least to the eye it seems simple and uncomplicated.
I would Tone down the Lotus logo on the forks though.

It has the look of an electric bike.

That's what I thought, too.
