Not too aerodynamic, but it looks like it has an easily removable battery.  ;)

It didn't have any stats in the article.

But Richard was complaining the Nomad wasn't aerodynamic.

Sorry, was hard to follow your train of thoughts without a quote :)

I was commenting on the motorcycle shown in the first picture of the article and it looked to me like the battery box was mounted across the frame and stuck out about  6" on both sides of the bike. However, that is not the case with the other bikes shown further down the page. Those looked a lot more developed and more like which you would expect a typical motorcycle to look like. That first picture looked like an early model that probably was powered by a removable lead-acid car battery.   ???

Being cheap and easy to repair is a feature set.

So is not having to have gasoline trucked in. Buy some solar panels and charge it yourself. I believe small-scale solar is also a trend in Africa.
