I couldn't help but think of a caption for the first one.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain, Tommy Bridewell, speaking. Please make sure your seats and tray tables are in their up-right and locked position. Crew, prepare the cabin for take-off."
But man, I know that had to hurt.
And as for the last one, I can't believe the tire flex and how visible it is. That's unreal. Not to mention how out-of-shape the bike is. Look at the guy's face - total control - even though the bike is pointed at the grass.

Got it; no clutch lever, no drive chain.
It's electric ain't it Matti?
Rather large hubs both front and rear, maybe two motors?
There is a guy in town here seems to be quite a good trade in electric pushbikes, is this the next step that blurs the line between pushbike and motorbike?

Being all electric, making this vehicle is an eco friendly compared to the 60’s model. There are 2 electric hub motors, one for each wheel, making this vehicle an all-wheel drive motorcycle. Each motor is rated at 50kW to give out 60hp at the wheel and that means 100hp combined. The braking power comes from 2 electromagnetic braking hubs at each wheel, this means the brake requires less maintenance and last longer than conventional brakes.
