Terminus M55, the future is here! Hybrid MTB

Have you ever seen the Nicolai MTB bikes or even the Honda DH mtb?
Well, if you think you saw all the craziest and extreme MTB out there, here is one that is putting the level even higher, and probably for a long period of time.

M55, the company behind the production of these futuristic MTB has just released the newest model, the Terminus.

The Terminus is designed for Cross-Country use and is equipped with an electric assisted engine (!?) that is supposed to complement the effort, not taking over.
What I particularly likes on this bike is the headlight in the stem, this is a very clever implant, of course there are many interesting features too.
The brakes are Brembo, the frame is made of CNC aluminium 7075, 160mm front and 172mm rear travel.
