They LOOK great, and are probably good mechanically, but the overall design is not well thought-out:
- The tail light is blocked by the rear tire (even without a rack or fenders!)
- No provisions for rack or fenders?
- Headlight is not well-integrated.

If you want an American heritage brand, Harley has done a MUCH nicer job on their Serial 1 eBikes, even dedicated some engineering resources to them: (they were Harley before they re-branded to Serial 1)

(no suspension on the city models though...)
