That is one big-ass hub motor. This could be a lot of fun! Doesn't give a weight.
Better be fun for $11k. I would like to see about double the power.

I wonder how the rear suspension copes with the weight of that motor......

Hrmn "Fuell flow" - certainly not a name I'd quickly associate with an electric.
You're not wrong about that hub motor though - that's an interesting looking wheel.
Wouldn't want too stiff a cross breeze....
Have had a lot of fun with some electrics in recent years - torque is amazing and with a 35KW option, that might be fun to play on.
At worst it looks like it might be a decent commuter, bit more affordable than the livewire - I think that'll hit Australian shores for around $40kAUD. Ouch.
Whereas this should hit ours for ~20kAUD (probably over) - for the 11KW version anyway.
Something worth watching
