Wonder if this all wheel drive will ever be refined enough for moto- already makes sense for enduro and Rec riding- there’s definitely some advantages-

New technology has emerged, lighter , faster, less parts, traction control is better

I did a magazine test on a supermoto version of this, based on a 450 KTM, it killed it in the wet , but in the dry it was really hard to ride in the way you would ride a normal bike, because of the way the front handled on the brakes with a chopped throttle.

It was maybe 20 laps, but i didnt feel i could go much faster on it.

The thing was so fast it was almost out of control, it could hit 50mph. here is their website: http://www.cabmotorworks.com

They had people from the show that had no business being on something like that, it was sketchy!

How do you watch "Adventure Capitalist"?
I'm sure I would like it.
I think it's on CNBC or something. I have it recorded on DVR. I've only seen one episode so far but it's pretty cool. It's just like shark tank except all outdoors/adventurous type of stuff.

Surely, if two wheel drive ever takes off it will be once electric bikes take off. You could have a separate smaller lighter motor for the front (not necessarily in the front hub) and you could tune the level of power going to the front.

Even Trophy Trucks aren't 4WD.

That's a segment where absolutely the branding, sales ambition, sponsorship drive, and every other big money push would be there to launch it, if the competitive advantage were immediate. You've got companies that are making billions on pitching 4WD off-road vehicles to suburbanites in that game. And still... not there yet.
