Okay -- I asked them what their weight goal was (on Facebook) and they answered that it should not weigh more than 1,200 pounds, and they are aiming to be 1,000 pounds or less.

I also noticed on their web page that the engine is a single cylinder. Which makes all the "plumbing" even more mysterious.

And I've now asked how the front suspension is set up.
