I have to wonder what exactly possessed them to put the engine inside the FRONT wheel? It seems to me that only makes it overly complicated. If you really wanted to use a radial engine inside of a wheel, it would seem much less complicated to put it inside the rear wheel so you wouldn't have the fuel tanks mounted on the forks, etc.
Also...wouldn't low speed turning be a bit tougher since the centrifugal force would want to keep the wheel spinning straight?
One would think it wouldn't be a great handling machine.
