All joking aside, this might be a useful gadget if the fuel supply problem can be solved. IMHO, most modern bikes are overweight and overpowered (my basic rule of thumb is "don't ride a bike that's too heavy to pick up if you drop it"). The 50MPH top speed might not be that much of a problem if the electric motor has enough torque to maintain it uphill or against the wind.

Fitting one of the engine/motor power packs to both the front and rear wheels would seem to be a reasonable starting place....

Looks like they swiped a few of the styling cues for the thing, though. And not from the state-of-the-art.
