  1. This frame design shares the short comings of other bicycle adapted pseudo motorcycle designs in terms of ergonomics. Bad seat, body positioning not ideal for pedaling.
    The reserve price as some pointed out should be its retail price.

    Competing designs from the better variations of this idea do it better. The motor torque and output are decent.
