I can’t ever imagine riding in that position. Not suited for old bones. Thanks for the share otherwise it’s really an interesting build!

My back would cripple me after that riding position. But it sounds like it’s all prototypes.

@Timpo have you found any other sources for details?

This concept is something that has gone around in my mind over the years.....a licenseable pedal bike that goes fast enough to get some motoesque yah yah's on while providing some endorphins too.

Looks fairly sturdy outside of the rear swing arm/chain stay and would trust going fast on it more so than some of the high speed/long range offerings based soley on cheap pedal bicycle rated components like the one I just read about on here.....

The whole geo fencing concept is a little big brother for my brain however which is able to discern which speed is appropriate for the situation.......

needs rear rack/fenders . Great concept+speeds !

The geofencing would need to be very precise, can't imagine any locality agreeing to permit 37mph electric motorcycles on multi-use paths
