This one sounds pretty real, though the bike doesn't look real (apparently it's an actual working model)  https://electrek.co/2020/02/20/switch-motorcycles-escrambler-electric-motorcycle/

They're apparently putting it in races somewhere?

Good lines and shapes, but why oh why must the beards/turnups/wallet-on-chain types insist on putting utterly useless tyres on bikes? Some of us actually ride them instead of hang them in the front windows of barbers' shops.

Neat design (not sure what to call it -- maybe Cubist?), which includes the frame, and is pretty clean. It does indeed look like a 1970s scrambler;
Of course with no wind protection, anything above 100 km/h is going to be a bit uncomfortable.

The main question of course is whether these guys have the backing to get to production...

That's probably the point of the races.  It's a classic way to say your design is robust, and get investor interest.
