Ainda ontem vi uma alusão a esse site e tentei procurar mais informação.
Os próprios ingleses não estão impressionados e desconfiam de um esquema. Eu, também!
O preço é fantasioso (face ao custo das baterias actuais, ainda mais para a autonomia anunciada).
O inglês do site é mau.
Pedem "investidores" para continuarem a "desenvolver" a mota
Não há fotos de uma mota real...
Alguns dados e opiniões que os utilizadores de um fórum inglês sobre motas elétricas divulgaram:

I searched for 'Vigo' across the whole forum and got nothing, so this might be breaking news:
http://eco-motorcycles.co.uk/vigo 400 mile range, 120 hp, £6,000.
It must be a hoax. Especially for the price! Someone's idea of a joke. I love the idea though and someone has gone to some effort to create the website."
"I agree. That is fantasy land stuff. More like a $40,000 vehicle. My guess is that they are trolling for investors and hope to hook a big fish with the admittedly nice computer-generated graphics. I see that you can sign up for test rides - just don't hold your breath and certainly don't put down a deposit."
"They appear to have some office in Shoreditch and advertise Zeros for sale:
http://eco-motorcycles.co.uk/stores If they aren't a Zero dealership, they're going to have some problems with copyright for those videos, and if they are, they're probably going to have a different kind of legal notice given...
Reading the site suggests that English is not their first language. Some kind of Chinese or Russian or Nigerian scam?"

Website says "I am afraid but our company has suspended Zero motorcycle dealership."
I didn't completely audit all versions WAYBACK the Zero dealer website to determine if this was a fallen Zero dealer or not, but it looks unlikely."
"I've also found this:
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10544565 Mr Sergeev has literally just setup this company. It was incorporated on 3rd Jan 2017 with assets of £1,000.
The business address can't be more than a PO Box. I doubt there is even an office in that building.
I looked at his LinkedIn profile and Companies House serves up a home address for his other company, Langwiser Ltd. Ironically, it's some kind of language learning website but the URL can no longer be resolved. Anyhow, if you want a hoot, check out his apparent home address on Google Maps:
https://goo.gl/maps/UpM1CZ5BQAA2 It's somewhere up near Aberdeen in Scotland - a long way from London.
I found out about this company/website from my father-in-law. It randomly turned up in his Facebook feed and he sent me the link in Messenger. I wonder if it was an advert or just a co-incidence. He's not into Motorcycles at all and he'd say himself that he's too old for it now. Not a very well targeted marketing effort...
If the guy has genuine ambitions, I don't think he's got off to a good start with it all. He's put some effort in though; creating a company and that website. If the rendering of that illusive bike is original, then that would have taken some time too. For what purpose? Is that all it takes to try and raise some venture capital? Surely investors aren't that stupid?
I guess this whole thing is a waste of time, but I hope you've found it of interest. There's got to be a story there somewhere!"
"- pure fantasy specs
- no photographs of an actual machine
- badly-done computer rendering
- pleas for investment
Bullshit, stay away."
