The front suspension is very interesting.
However, the rear suspension looks really flimsy and cramped. I also can't see two shocks back there to corroborate the claim that the rear suspension is independent. All I see is a center mounted brake rotor and a single axle, which would mean only the front suspension is independent. The extra-wide rear footprint will make the turning profile of this thing terrible.

Just too gimmicky. Is basically just a girthy pocket bike with 12x3.5-10 wheels.

I'd rather convert a really light frame motorcycle to electric.
