Ennored is on the money. A top heavy bike is twitchier and more susceptible to leaning, and thus handles better. A bottom heavy bike is better at going in a straight line. That’s what I’ve always gone by. Seat distance to ground is important too. My understanding, anyway.
The designers have put out CFD analysis photos. I don’t have knowledge of CFD stuff but it gives good views of the machine.

I think it’s a smart approach and according to their claims, it can get twice the mileage of the EV competitors. I question why they use that figure if the bike is built for top speed.
I have an SR 50 R and the drivetrain is all very low mounted. It could be cool to build it into a 50cc street version of this bike provided the drag/frontal area works as they say.
I do question the shape of the rear tail-piece. Why so flat?
