Can we learn something about this bike? Weight? What is the top speed?
I've only seen one in real life, on the Silver Comet Trail here in Georgia. I tried to keep up just to get a look but there wasn't a chance.
It's all carbon and kevlar, but it's heavier than most people think. Probably around 26 lbs but I haven't weighed it on a good scale. The frame is open behind the seat pad, and I typically carry a pump, patch kit, and tools, as well as a hydration bladder inside the frame. There are about 2 dozen of them in the US, and the company is no longer in existence. As far as speed, well I guess that's mostly a factor of the motor. But it's fast enough that when the group does a sign sprint, the one that finishes 2nd behind me is declared the winner. I've never had it on a mountain, but I know that it handles rock-steady at 50 mph.
