Is Aston Martin getting into Motorcycles?

[Roobarb]

Bored in China so walked around a number of fancy and Chinese car dealers. Got to the Aston dealership (closed to a shiter like me apparently) and saw these little beauties...

Are they electric?

sorry for the crappy photos. It’s about as close as I could get, drooling down the windows. 

They look pretty smart!

Maybe they were built for Aston Martin....a bit like how Orange County Choppers would build bikes for people...

Hmmm....

I can't believe they forgot you were going there and were closed. That's a bit off.

Theyre electric push bikes, the 'engine' will more than likely be the battery pack - Vintage electric do a similar thing

[Wack]

Could they be something to do with emissions offset like the sygnet they did a while back

I had the same experience walking past a hugo boss shop in Milan, not that I wanted to go in but the look from the Italian model security guard in a £1000 suit and sunglasses said you can fuck right off you scruffy bastard

Yep, next- solar powered Aston Martin unicycle.

How does the power even get there?

Is the rear ‘hub’ the electric motor? Seems to be common with the bike tooSavey posted except that seemed to have one at the front as well.

The rear hub looks big enough to be a motor. I have a similar set up on my mountain bike (but fitted to a much, much less fancy frame).

The front disc brake was the first giveaway to me. Look how small it is!

They did do a manual pushbike, for £15,777. For that money you'd have thought they would fit it with pedals.

Yes the rear hub is the motor
