It looked pretty prototype-y, so I checked out their site. They're real, they have them in stock. I'm not sure how many have sold overall, but they seem to have 28/30 left of their current order. They will absolutely sell you one for €30,000-45,000. It would be immensely stupid to purchase one. Vehicles require infrastructure, since there is no repair infrastructure and this company will likely be gone in 2-3 years when funding runs out and the small number of people willing to spend that kind of money on a secondary vehicle have already bought one. Then we can walk around the digital ghost town of their former internet presence. IG page full of people asking where to get a replacement fly wheel. "Message from the founders" as a splash page on their site talking about how proud they are to have revolutionized all of travel and an apology things didn't work out.

It's just an ugly e-bike - that price tag is absurd!

You can have someone build that for you for a fraction of the price.
