I’ve been studying how a bike’s weight balance affects a rider’s reaction time. Want to take a look at a design that might make you feel like you’re already in the flow before you even touch the throttle?

Here’s the plan: keep the frame’s center of gravity just forward of the seat tube, about 10 % of the bike’s total length from the rear wheel. Move the seat slightly forward, and place the battery pack behind it so the rider’s weight rests on the saddle and lower back. The handlebars stay low and the steering column angled so the hands are slightly forward, keeping the torso in line with the wheel. When you shift forward, the bike naturally leans into the turn; when you lean back, it pulls the weight back, smoothing the roll. Test it by riding straight, then doing a 180‑degree turn—watch the load shift feel almost automatic. Let me know how it feels in practice.

I’ll take it for a spin at the test track, watch the hips and wheels line up, and see if the load shift keeps the bike steady or just rattles. I’ll report back with what I feel.

I’ll run the trials, record the numbers and how it feels, then bring the data to you so we can separate theory from practice.
