Hello all. To those of you who have the new Lectric One, my question is...does it look like this bike can be a fit with a suspension stem or fork?

See, I'm highly tempted by this bike, but concerned about the lack of suspension and comfort issues long term. If I get this bike I'm at the least going to have to put a suspension seatpost on it, but I'd like to do even more. Based on what I've read and the research I've done (lots of photos, videos, etc), it's looking like this front design can't be modded. If I'm wrong please correct me.

If that's the case, the options to limit vibration and chatter through the front are going to be very limited.
 
I don't think the Lectric One was designed to be ridding for long miles in one sitting.
It is meant to be a compact commuter that require little to no maintenance.
Therefore, it doesn't have suspension fork to add to its weight.
20" x 3" tires can offer much suspension if you lower the tire pressure.
Adding a suspension fork is probably the better option than suspension stem, since the One comes with an adjustable stem already.
I added suspension seatpost so it is a more compliant ride, I don't feel the need for a suspension fork for the type of riding I do with the Lectric One.
Since I don't plan to ride it more than 25 mi. on one sitting.
