That is sensational, the futuristic design really appeals to me especially the 'Terminator' style bolt on fork blades and swing arm. Very encouraging to see that CAD was utilised to enhance the design process.I use various design packages as part of the 8 to 5 slog and I can really see the advantage of using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to take the guess work out of design intentions.

Nice looking unit, just wondering how the steering shaft bends as it does. CV joint maybe?

...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Yeah ...some bike
Seen that pic a few times over the last year or two and always thought it'd be great to try one... but alass I've never seen one in real life.
But good to dream
