The Nisttarkya is a 100-percent electric-powered bike created in India by an imaginative guy called Santhosh. It features a highly unusual riding position with the rider sitting crouched in the prone position. The handlebars are connected directly to the front wheel hub, and it features both front and rear suspension.
It looks like riding the Nisttarkya would be extremely fun, dangerous and painful at the same time! Longer journeys, or using it on any terrain which isn’t glass smooth could cause fairly severe discomfort for the rider, as pretty much all their weight looks to be distributed along the unpadded metal backbone frame. Also I’m not sure how happy I would feel with my teeth just a few millimetres from the metal frame!
Still, with a few modifications to the ergonomics, and a bit more padding for extra comfort it could be quite an amusing ride.

Powering the Nisttarkya is a 350Watt motor supplied by a 36V battery mounted just ahead of the rear wheel. The Nisttarkya weighs in at 40 kgs (88 lbs) – pretty heavy even for an electric bike. But for a prototype vehicle which is still in development it’s pretty good.
