What do you think of the x3 aftermarket swingarm Kyvex is designing?

Kyvex recently released this on their story, it seems to be a 3d printed prototype of an aftermarket swing arm that is seems to be extended but also is compatible with stock as well. I have some thoughts but what do you guys think?

Advice On Motor/Controller/Battery For Stealth 60MPH Freego

This is my Freego X2 Pro, it has lots of modifications to it already, brakes, throttle, handlebars, paint, tires, seat cover, plastics, suspension, and more. Recently I have learned and become quite proficient at wheelies and some simple tricks. There is a few things I am dissatisfied with though.

Firstly the battery life is horrible and getting worse, the battery is similarly sized to a Surron, or Chi battery, which last significantly longer. The front forks are not quality nor are the slightly warped triple clamps. And the torque is a little too low for my liking, you have to be extremely precise with you balance on your wheelie or else it doesn't have enough power to bring it back up.

It is pretty fast, along a long stretch I can reach 50MPH. Before any of you guys get on my back about legality and safety, I recognize that technically it is an illegal bike, I ride respectfully and a lot slower around town and cops so far haven't had an issue with it.

For further reference I work as an intern for Kyvex Emoto, so I have further access to not my own mastery of Fusion 360 but manufacturing, welding, and R&D tools.

Here is what I would like to do to my bike.

  1. Buy or build a 72 volt battery for more power and quality cells for longer rides. Maybe something like what this guy did.
  2. Buy a tunable and powerful controller. I should be able to set different modes and somehow with a switch hidden inside the foam of the seat "unlock it." The switch would sit at the front of the seat in the foam, mounted to the metal plate beneath but under the seat cover.
  3. Get a powerful 15KW or 20KW hub motor.
  4. Maybe upgrade to Ultrabee Brakes.

What I need from the community, is suggustions on how I should work on the bike, design tips, and tips on if and how to do dropouts.
