0-60 km/h in 4 sec.

that's 0 to 37 mph, not 0-60 mph

can do freeway, barely.  quoted at 75mph, but i bet that's one rider, and a small one at that.

at least it's not a hub-motor pretend-motorcycle.  more like a 150cc equivalent, I'd say.

The swingarm tubes look skinny.
They look to be close to axle diameter. That is usually 1 inch or less.
Does anyone else think the tubes should be a larger diameter?

No physical objects are depicted in the article, but yes, it does seem like the swingarm could be more structurally robust (better trellis, thicker tubes, whatever).

My favorite factory modification was done by Electric Motorsport on my 2010 GPR-S. The GPR-S chassis was manufactured by the Tiger motorcycle company in Thailand and Electric Motorsport installed their electric motor and batteries into the chassis. When the swing arm brace, located under the main swing arm tube, was found to be in the way of the drive chain, they just cut it off with a hack saw.  :o Problem solved.  ::)
