Ron, Sounds great until you get to this;
Transmission Motus 6-speed sequential gearbox; unit construction; wet multiplate clutch
You either have to cart around a bunch of gears you don't need or cut up the block and do a lot of welding and machining on a new engine.

I think the transmission is a bolt on, meaning a reduction unit could be bolted to it.

Two other things. I don't see a weight on it, and isn't that too much HP?

Is there a big downside, or for that matter any downside to taking the gears out and rigging something directly to the drive shaft?
Never had the chance to look into a Honda or BMW so I really have no idea what it looks like in there. It does look compact.
If that case sans the gears is only a couple of extra pounds it may be doable emphasis on maybe.
All of this is theoretical, and the way they are talking about their motor and bike it may not be less expensive than many purpose built av-motors.
I don't know why someone after going to the trouble of designing a motor and all of that cannot conceive that the motor itself may be more valuable than the bike. DOD drones and all sorts of stuff like that comes to mind.

Rick,
If you go to the site and view the engine development video you will see
that it is a stand alone engine.

thanks Jack
I guess I should have looked at the video instead of reading just the spec sheet. Now there is promise.
