I met the team at a technology fair at Lincoln Cathedral back in 2015. Nice chaps, interesting project.

I saw one of those at a motorcycle show in Denver in the 70's. The owner rode it around in a small area in the building. It was powered by a small twin cylinder Honda engine if I remember correctly. It seemed to be very srable.

While I was talking to them, I asked specifically about the braking performance, and hte guy you see riding it in the video said, "Oh yeah. It's awful".
