Boy howdy! Tandem two-seater. 3D printed parts in aluminum and titanium that tab-and-slot together, then you inject epoxy into voids that lock them together. Carbon fiber is mill stock to save expensive molds and bagging costs. Crushable aluminum box replacing the telescoping bumper mounts.
A lot to like there. But when I watch it, I imagine an Arcimoto SRK with a one-piece time attack nose replacing the cycle fenders:
And butterfly doors with cat-eye windows.
