Yes, that was a very good interview with plenty of good information.
It was great to hear Colin be so positive about the future of race electrification. I got the impression that he believed that it was happening because the racing organizations were pushing it as a move to be green. I thought that there were also significant performance benefits from electrification, like instant torque. If he thought that too, he didn't make that clear.
I found it enlightening to hear about the human side of Mugen: that they appreciate the enthusiasm of their fans, and they love the challenge of the unknown. Before now, I imagined a board of directors making strategic decisions and giving orders to a factory of quasi-robotic engineers. "The long term analyst predicts a 67.3% probability that electric bikes will dominate. We must enter the field. Commence work on a successful electric bike." "
By your command."
Thanks for the interview.
