New electric motorbike design

I just love this new bike, it makes me very happy when a design works, and at the same time, absolutely ignores convention.  I can just imagine the conversation:

Down the Rose and Crown
Hey man, you ever wondered what would happen if strange things had children
You mean like a segway and a motorcycle
yeah, but that would be crazy, wouldn't it?

Look at it, it takes up so little space, it's electric, and futuristic, which is always good.  I do get sick of seeing all the identically base design on motorcycles, I can understand it on racers, as they are honed to race, but a road bike has so much more breadth for design possibilities depending on lifestyle.  This would be a great runaround bike, popping into town and back.  I really would love one, and they don't sound too pricey (in comparison) $8000.  But then, i'm not sure about top speeds, or road worthiness.
