The aluminum frame looks pretty beefy, I don't think it'll fold. But your legs better be the right height for this thing because there isn't any adjusting the seat height.
LOL this was my exact thought. I actually kinda like the way it looks, but it has the same energy as an engineering student inventing his own ebike in the 1980s.
That has the specs of just about any hardtail, hub-drive, fat tire, $1,000 e-bike that has been on the market the past 5 years. They are trying to sell it via the BMX-style handlebars and a dirtbike-style seat. That doesn't make it worth $2,200. I'm assuming this writer is getting a kickback from the bike company.

Gonna go ahead and disagree with you there Billy Brown: E-bikes in general don't really look dorky, but you managed to find one that does.

Looks like a wannabe dirt bike. Also the lack of cross beam means that thing will likely fold after hitting a speed bump.

I think the seat bracket is corner bracing the top of the triangles to make up for the lack of seat tube

No rear suspension and not even a sprung seat? Brilliant!
