This is interesting there is a definite niche market for small, lightweight electric commuter motorcycles. I think this motorcycle (It's not bicycle), is a good demonstration piece and a cute collectors item. But there design flaws that put this out being a production machine in it's current configuration. The components (wheels, brakes, etc) seem to be undersized for the task at hand. But considering the whole bike weights roughly 70lbs I believe it will work over all over the short term. Braking from 40mph on those brakes and forks would be interesting. Also foot pegs integrated into the frame may look good but in a low slide crash could prove catastrophic. |

They also appear to have a taper to them, leading to a somewhat thin edge. My dad still has the scar from when he put a footpeg into his foot on a motorcycle when he was younger. That was from a fixed but fairly blunt footpeg. No idea the kind of damage this thing would do.
