Here is a video of the motorbike running in the Himalayas https://youtu.be/uNKIqbdIS9o


Not a single shot of the bike going around a corner...

Those footpegs look very low. At 0:32 it looks like the rider's toes are only an inch away from the ground.


Based on :017 and 0:38 the footpegs appear to be at the same level as the center of the wheel.

An SV650 appears to have slightly higher pegs.

I agree they look low, but checking out other bikes they appear to be in similar places.


I used to scrape my toes when turning left at intersections on my old KTM if I didn't move my toes back on the peg. It's not a terribly unusual stance for a road bike.


The thing is a flat line and they didn't bother to flare the "tank" so I'm not sure what your thighs are supposed to hold on to? It looks like braking too hard might cause you to flip right over the front.


Looks like it only goes downhill...


It definitely does. No sign of acceleration in that video, I wonder if it was even working.

Also it seems super uncomfortable to ride.
