I'm in the beauty is in the eye of the beholder camp. The engineering side of me prefers function over form, but there's a reason I moved away from engineering, because the aesthetics are important to me as well. Mainly, I think keeping things neat is appealing; no extra wires dangling around or parts that look like they were tacked on because there was an open spot; rather a planned execution.
I rode my bike to the Berkeley campus a couple of weeks ago, and guy on a electric scooter came over and stared at my bike for about a minute before he said "that's electric, right?", which was just fine for me. I don't want it to scream electric.
