I think that they may be using a liberal amount of balonium in it to get
the claimed performance.

Just a cursory look at it comes up with lots of drag-producing
intersections and shapes.

Once they add the required hundred pounds or so of DOT required
bumpers and crash worthiness structure I'd be surprised if it could
get off the ground in any category; much less LSA.

They won't need to add all that, as it will be classified as a
motorcycle for road use,
not a car.

Still, I won't predict any kind of success for it. Tools that are
designed to do multiple jobs
hardly ever do any job well.

Minimal performance in both roles and a target price of $200k, somehow
I expect the
market to be rather limited. I'd be amazed if they ever turn a profit
or even manage to
stay in business beyond making a handful of prototypes while burning
through all their
investors' money.

So says my crystal ball.
