The Velo Glide Ultra succeeds in every respect.

Shimano Nexus Flip-Fire shifters trigger a 4-speed drivetrain housed in the rear hub that is virtually maintenance-free. Contributing to the ultra-plush ride is a rock Shox Jett suspension fork. Reliable braking is provided by Shimano inter-M Roller Brakes. front and back. The seamless blending of contemporary technology and timeless design is a hallmark of Harley-Davidson.
I removed the bike from the two boxes to take pictures but it has never been fully assembled and/or ridden
