Pretty big claims lets see what unfolds.

Pretty pictures.

Anyone can make a rendering and calculate how many kwh they need for 280 miles or range on paper.

But these guys haven't even shown a rolling prototype.

Plus, these designs are going to have to completely change for production. It's going to need indicators and mirrors, and a brake light that's not going to be completely blocked by the rear wheel every time your suspension compresses. It doesn't even have a spot for the license plate.

I don't see a rendering with a real human being on it. What's the riding position on these?

My recollection is that at least one example of the Curtiss Zeus was displayed somewhere earlier this year. I have no idea if it could move under its own power, though.

Pretty sure I remember seeing a video of the National Drive Electric Week in Birmingham AL this year showing some Curtiss bikes there.

Curtiss is based in Bham -- https://bhamnow.com/2018/09/06/curtiss-motorcycles-electric-hot-rod-gods/

(I can't play the videos here at my office to confirm that the first article contains the videos that I remember seeing after the event)
