PS.. re that top pic
Just CAN'T let that color-glossy sit there un-disparaged, y'know? Red-flag..
WRONG is:
Exactly (in height) ---> where this pair-of-butts sit:
-vs-
The C.G. of all the gearhead-bits, way-too-farbelow.. There; you are on STILTS!
Especially-awful with Two-Up. (Passenger if unskilled is dead-weight; cannot even Try to 'help'.)
Needs no words; The pic all-alone suggests well, the Difficulties a pilot Will endure/(or not survive)
with any need for a rapid maneuver.
(And look well at the height! of your boot-soles!) == lowest-point you Can place your body-weight to influence matters, i.e.
Because, also too the wheels are too-Small dia. for rest of chassis {sigh} Cornering demands here, as with a scooter, needs road-clearance == why they had-to place foot-rests ^where^ they did. :-/
You just *Can't!* use your body as you Need-to, to ameliorate [Your + machine's] combined C.G.
(thus to apply physics to S. Y. A.) {{sob}}
Rest case. Racer pic below: illustrates the shape-map for function: just torn-up by Boobus Marketus.
Std. Advertainment-pulchritude fantasy OVER all hard-won authentic-lore to date. Yeah they likely will peddle n of these. I hope to Drumpf voters (as would never notice 'science'.)
Just like glamorous Giant-'Hog' Ad-pix of Harleys, old Indian Chiefs ..with about same %mass given-over to sexy-sheet-metal cosmetic shapes
..as-in Detroit-iron of the days of Insolent/Heavy Chariots -vs- [all aspects of Basic design-physics]
You can get away with that in 4-wheelers.. sorta, but NOT with 2-wheel-equilibrium!
(I'd likely drive one of these around the block. Carefully. I drove a foot-clutch Harley.. Once.)
