Instead of "Hades" they should call that thing the "Overcompensator".

What is that lever on the left side of the handlebar?

Not good.  Especially the cheek light turn signals on the rear!

More information here.  It sounds like they might be trolling for dollars and at $75K it is likely going to have a life as a museum display rather than a daily rider.  Plus I would really like to see how the chassis will be designed so that it will support that phallus-symbol battery pack from just its rear end.  ???  https://electricmotorcycles.news/legendary-designer-jt-nesbitt-joins-curtiss-and-unveils-striking-new-hades-model/

Well, what first comes to my mind is rather a revolver ... with drum, bullet, hammer (seat) ...

But I can see your point ....

I think so too enaef, it looks just like a 45acp round laying on it's side.
Thus death and Hades.

I suspect it will age poorly without significant pharmaceutical assistance…

A little anagram work on HADES gives:
 A SHED

I rest my case.

Thankfully the final design isn't NEARLY as phallic:

I wouldn't ride a bicycle without a front shock, why would you put a powerful motor behind that?
