Flotspotting: "E-Motion" E-Bike Concept by Stefan Reichert
OK - evaluating it as a concept, I'd guess the red-painted calipers are more of an effort to look 'Brembo' than to (for example) suggest any regenerative braking system, which many electric vehicle concepts do incorporate.
Charles Eames said, "the details make the design". If you are going to design a concept bike, a lot of people familiar with the subject matter are going to have a sharp eye for details.
The fork wouldn't be too different with post mounts, but the rear stays would look considerably different.

I'd be curious to hear if you see any other problems with it though.
