Check this bad boy out

I was recently in Amsterdam working and came across a bike shop with this in the window

That looks really nice. Love the colour.

Did you sit on it? I don't know if I'd stretch to the bars and peddles?.

I like the look, but I can't think of any time when it would be vaguely sensible to ride for me.

True. But it will let the kids loose in the sweet shop, if it gets people through the bike shop front door.. It's a nicely designed low rider. More of a work of art than an ebike. Having said that, it probably shifts with that big front motor.

Is that a motor on the back too?

As far as I remember, there was a small rear motor but as I was literally passing it on occasion (when the shop was closed) I didn't study it that well. I wish I had now..

Might be an alfine rear hub ? The tensioner looks like an alfine one well

Very hard to tell !

You got to admire the Dutch for some of these creations.
I think I was about 16 when I last saw a pair of cowhorn bars like that.

In reality, the bike looked a lot more usable and possibly a little less 'outgoing' in appearance. It was quite a sight to see.
