It sure looks great, although I'm a little concerned to see the chain.
The chain was always the "weak link" (no pun intended) in the Lectra;
the high torque of the motor always stretched out even the sturdy
racing chains in a matter of weeks.

Has anyone made an electric motorcycle with a hub-mounted motor? I
notice that some electric bicycles (like Iacocca's) are made that way
and it seems to make the most engineering sense for electrics.
