I'm glad someone is trying something new, but holy moly that thing would be a beast to drive. It uses a hub motor in the rear, so you've got probably 30-40 lbs of unsprung mass back there which would make it very squirrely. And I'm not entirely sure how that front wheel is supposed to turn. Might make for some 37 point turns in driveways. Also it looks like a snail.
A buddy of mine owns an F-Zero. I haven't driven it but he says it's pretty good. That's a more traditional take on motorcycle electrification. He's dumped it a few times on grass because the instant torque of the electric motor is a bit hard to handle.
