View of the left hand side view of the model, as seen in Alan Cathcart's article for Motorcycle International, November 1989.
I wonder what happened to the plans to make 200 of them in Taiwan? You could make that exact shape today and, with 2022 batteries and controllers, it would out-perform anything currently being made in the lightweight electric 2-wheeler market. Bigger wheels would probably be a good idea, along with a seat back at least as wide as the average human's shoulders and a windscreen wiper! PNB

I'm grateful for this enrty and the others on the same subject. It means that when anybody asks why FFs were never taken seriously I'll be able to give this link and say "Because this is what professional motorcycle designers thought they should be like"
