interesting that it has no aero package , I would have thought that the torque from an electric motor would result in the front lifting quite easily and that an aero package might have helped negate it somewhat .

Wouldn't an electric engine be easier to manage, so it's less likely to need help to stop it lifting the front?

I saw electric bikes racing on the BSB bill at Donnington a few years back. I had total none interest in them. And never will.

You would think so.... there'd be no gaps between gears to set any lifting into motion. Perhaps....?
