I feel like Raton Laveur is Peter Boutakis wearing a moustache
Joking aside, in the progression from "functional proof of concept" --> "fully produced demonstrator," has the bike been validated from a testing perspective? I know that ISO, and a number of other international organizations, require safety and durability testing before a bike can be sold in most European and American markets.
Has this 'fully produced demonstrator' been through these tests? If not, it could require 1) a fundamental redesign and 2) a fundamental revision of manufacturing.
Any insight? With the lefty fork and bolt-action locking mechanism, I've got my doubts about durability.
