Technically, in-wheel motors front and rear tuck drive into the hubs and free up the frame. Look at the data and that's exactly what makes the extreme low seating position work. In structural, not emotional, terms this reopens the question of what a motorcycle is. Production limits remain, but as a direction I rate this concept.
