2wd too if I recall correctly. Always wondered how a 2wd motorcycle would handle.

I had read up on this when it came out. Most of the specs seem to be BS which of course makes sense since it's vaporware.
There is a Kiwi company UBCO that has similar utility bikes (even 2wd I think) actually in production.
There is also an Aussie(?) guy that put a hub motor on the front of a SurRon. I could see it as useful in sand and mud. Won't help climbing though. Agreed it would be really interesting to try.
