Wow JMV, very very cool. best of luck to you. We hope to see more of you in here!

I'd love to hear more about your concept design. Is there any particular reason you went with the horizontal upper swingarm based monoshock rather than a through the swingarm vertical with linkage setup? Any insight into challenges of designing around an electric engine rather than a standard petrol motor?
