From what I know about electric bikes, that battery is way too high to give "an excellent center of gravity."

Just like electric cars, you want the battery to be mounted as low as possible if you want any semblance of handling and not being tipsy.

I hear tell that Armstrong was looking into whether or not this drive system could be applied to a bike "inconspicuously".
