That apparently. I have no idea what it's used for, nor do I have any idea as to whether it'll ever get beyond the concept stage, but there have to be at least some moto guys who had their interest piqued. Brap!

No, those look like fun concepts the Big S sometimes does, most are still at the HQs in Morgan Hill. In other words, a one-off. What Cannondale did was go all in with getting in the MX motorcycle business with production MX motorcycles which they failed in. They had some innovative designs in the bikes but they weren't received well. Hard to do with the existing brands already ingrained in the market.

As far as those show concepts, I'm all for them. They're cool.

But really, when you get to a certain point, pedals stop making sense. This would be equally stealthy and probably more fun:
