You guys should contact (some of) the F1 teams. They would certainly love to have more efficient motors in their hybrid PUs. A 5kg saving is literally worth millions in that business. Also Formula-E might be interested, but I don't know how free they are in their choice of material, so you might want to talk to the organizers.

Yeah this is definitely a market we're looking into - both KERs and Formula E drive units. Great product-market fit.
As long as people are considering radically different markets, go all the way to the extreme. E-bikes, one-wheels, e-motorcycles. Something's got to carry you over the desert of waiting for aviation certification.
