I see a springer fork with a front wheel drive on that bike.
Man I wish I'd thought of that, oh wait I did Oct 8 2015
Hey all of this is design issues that we have found and are helping or at least not hurting by giving out ideas to help the bikes in the future, be it 2016 or years later. Now I really like my Zero and it does what I need it to do but I think all of the E bikes are based on ICE bike designs with electric power trains. It helps to sell to a public that is used to this way of looking and acting. Is it the best format for these bikes?
The bike shouldn't overheat even under full out power. How can this be fixed?
I saw a video (yes I watch a lot of You Tube) of a Ronin 47 an old Buell 1125 modified to a funky love it or hate it design.

What caught my eye was the front fork and radiator.
So if you don't get fork height change then you can have a belt at the same distance.
If you can have a belt there then why not a drive motor above it or a shaft drive.
The springs of the suspension would be above the motor so motor to wheel to motor distance is the same
It could be used as either the sole drive motor or two wheel drive.
The motor at the front of the bike in the main air stream cool as can be.
Everybody is happy. If it works.
Somebody go spend a bunch of money on this and tell me how it turns out
