That is a rather unique bike. Never seen one quite like that or with that buffalo logo.
Hard to believe that is the correct battery pack for that bike. They look more something to power the headlights.

I think it's just a futuristic bike design. Is that a twist shifter on the right handlebar or is it a twist throttle?
There's no visible motor in the front wheel. There's no visible motor in the rear wheel. Doesn't really look like there is a motor driving the crank, unless that cylinder marked manitou is one, Is that a motor or a shcock absorber?
How does the crank feel. Can you spin it freely without feeling the gearing of a mid motor?

yeah thx. I was thinking the same thing today after discussing with a colleague- it’s like a city bike- weird bike. It’s not a throttle but a 7 speed shifter…my colleague gave it to me saying it’s an ebike but maybe it’s not. I’m usually riding road bikes so my apologies..that manitou thing is a rear shock

Can we get a shot of the center console? And what is that over the rear wheel? I see that the pedals fold. Hmm. Does anything else look like it's hinged?

Some respectful corrections, if I may:
Dimension is a general purpose supplier, on the value end, like Origin 8 or Profile. They make all kinds of things used on bikes. Even cyclocross ones, but not competition level by any stretch.
The size of the fork legs and geometry and shock size of the rear suspension, suggests a design focus on comfort, on standard city streets, rather than any kind of rough road capability.
The frame cannot be steel. It might be aluminum. My guess is actually Magnesium, but it isn't quite the right color for Mag Casting.
