well, it takes training, then you get used to it and finally, you love it
riding around almost all year round in a shirt is a lovely experience

on your pictures, you can see next next generation called 'MonoTracer' which became the 'eTracer' as a BEV (purely battery electric vehicle w/o any internal combustio engine).
It is still being produced in Brno, Czech Republic under the name 'MonoRacer'
around 2005, the Peraves (CZ) factory burned down including all of its molds (the Kevlar monocoque is handlaminated), so they had to start from scratch.
at the same time, a young designer dropped in and told them 'it sure rides great, but looks like shXt - I'll get you something better'
btw: on the lower pic, you can clearly see the monolever and it's final drive. with custom alloy wheels, tyres up to 240/40 are being used.
