Big tyres, electric assist, speakers in the handlebars, built in cameras...dream bike! I do like the stem that surrounds the phone.

Wonder who did the frame?

That frame design is actually quite clever. No idea how efficient it is but it's certainly different.

Hmm like the phone holder & speakers in bars, not convinced about electrical assist & would prefer to see dyno hub for charging phone/camera etc

The only thing right about it is the number of wheels.

What's not to like, perfect for those physically unable to pedal far

yes andyl probabaly a bit weedy for true fat bike shenanigans but it's an interesting way to make most of a frame with just tube bending.

I would agree about dyno hub but then again you have a battery on board.

So electronics designers can make better concept bikes than car designers... when you look at today's bloated cars, it makes sense.
