Meet the Biiista, an awesome and funky and futuristic in a ‘i-found-a-post-apocalyptic-oil-drum-and-beat-it-into-the-shape-of-a-motorbike’ kind of way.

Here's that video:

The steering and front suspension is pretty amazing, I have to say.

Torque figures and the covered body look like a hub motor. Specs are competitive with the Enertia+. Wonder what the drag is like, it's got to be pretty low..

Those bars and mirrors would have to go, but the body looks good in motion.
