"Nolan and Crowley's original
sketches had no tailpipe, but anything with a motor needs an outlet for
exhaust. Weaving around the bike's carbon-fiber and Kevlar body and
steel chassis, the design team built the exhaust system into the frame,
ducting it through the hollow steel/aluminum/magnesium tubing. Two
months later, the high-performance, water-cooled, single-cylinder
engine—geared toward the lower end for faster acceleration—was ready to
power the Pod. Only there was another headache: Who in the world could
drive this thing?'
