According to another article the scalloped trailing edges create vortices that reduce drag. I wonder if that’s effective at lower speeds, like highway speeds.

Mugen wins the TT Zero:  https://www.bbc.com/sport/motorsport/48546396

Ever since Michael Cszysz passed away, NO ONE has been able to challenge Mugen.  Why is that?  Why can't Lightning or Energica give it a shot?

Probably because Mugen is funded by Honda.  ??? When racing you can't beat cubic money.   ;)
