Hate the look of that. Swingarm on the front?!?!? And every time you brake or lean into a corner your inner thighs will get annihalated by those 4 brake light looking thingys..... just to start off...

Looks like the bike from Akira. Would be fun to have a ride on, I reckon.

It's a shame that current consumer level battery technology is so shit.

Battery tech won't last long... Fuel cells are the answer to electric batteries' poor power and long recharge times.

As for the bike, the engineering for the swing arm is interesting. Hate the seat though, looks out of place on that machine. Bike looks front heavy too...

Yep, I remember my grandfather saying when I was a kid that everything made in Korea was complete trash and that the Korean car industry was an absolute joke...
