Best looking e-bike? Just a bit of fun.

I put that in one of the worst looking bike categories....I love the way the Nicolai bikes look.
They just have lovely lines to my eye.
It looks like a downhill bike from 2001 with impossibly small chain stays and seat stays...... The mud catcher cnc down tube is also stupid form over function. I'd be forever scraping mud out of the grooves.
All the things I love about it.
There were some abominations early days, but eBikes are certainly getting better looking. So, purely on aesthetics, what do you reckon are the best looking?
I have to put forward that new Pivot Shuttle SL-AM. That straight line from headset to rear axle looks dialled.
Shuttle SL/AM
Born from the fusion of agility and electric ferocity, the Shuttle SL/AM is built to blur boundaries. At under 40 pounds, its featherweight carbon frame and Bosch Performance Line SX system deliver a seamless surge of power that feels alive underfoot.global.pivotcycles.com

Totally agree, I love the aesthetics of my shuttle LT 2023.There were some abominations early days, but eBikes are certainly getting better looking. So, purely on aesthetics, what do you reckon are the best looking?

It just looks like a bike, there are more exciting colour ways but the black downtube hides the motor better, the new one doesn't look as good to my eyes.

Also a fan of the Orbea Wild's looks, especially mine.
Obviously I'm biased and on pure looks it loses marks as I've run the front triangle cables externally. Better in every other respect though.

I remain partial to my Levo Expert 
I love everything about this Orange Patriot 29
I was going to say that someone has to give the haters an opportunity but even I can’t compete with the own goal of the Orange DJI, which is surely one of the ugliest bikes ever built, and I’m a fan boy

To me the aesthetic thing that tanks a bike's looks is when the slope of the top tube is way off the slope of the seat stays. Obviously personal preference, but I never like the look of the Mith (or any similar bike). And the brand that consistently nails it on top tube/seat stay slope is Transition.

While they have improved most of the issues with the new Mith, I still think the original is a nicer looking bike.

Oh, and if Canyon ever used the Avinox motor is this, then 
I get stopped nearly every time I ride my Amflow. Some to say "What the F**k have you done to that" 
But mostly to say, "Nice bike". Most don't realise it's electric.
Kids and Teenagers love it. And for some reason, so do middle-aged women walking their dogs. Been stopped twice. Hopping on the bike after taking this photo I got held up for 10 mins by a lady walking her Cavoodle. I think she liked it because the Kashima Coating was the same colour as her dog .......

I’d be in the former camp. Interesting demographic who actually compliments i!I get stopped nearly every time I ride my Amflow. Some to say "What the F**k have you done to that"

Man you almost nailed it! It is true, except he is in full gold outfit, here is even on a photo I tookI have a vision of you in a black and gold outfit, please tell me it's not true.
I am loving the new "Amflov" branding...is that for the Russian market?Man you almost nailed it! It is true, except he is in full gold outfit, here is even on a photo I took

I have to say - I had to check again, because that really doesn't look like an EMTB...very stealth.
Now if only Fazua'd come out with a full-fat, tiny motor, I'd be very keen for my next bike.
I think any of the Scott Lumen's are the cat's meow. The Lumen looks like a slightly beefier version of the Spark. No pic other than web site photo currently. Will have to take one tomorrow on my ride.
I'm not 100% sold on the look of the hidden shocks on the new Scott's...although, I wouldn;t say no if I were gifted one.

Prefaced by the old saying that opinions are like a**h***s ,everyone has one.In my humble opinion mine is the best looking.There were some abominations early days, but eBikes are certainly getting better looking. So, purely on aesthetics, what do you reckon are the best looking?
