That's a nice design and very useful vehicle! But I question the picture used in the post... How does that thing steer? It looks like both wheels are fixed to the chassis and won't turn a millimetre. Is the pic ai generated or so? I don't get how that contraption could work. Searching only showed this pic, no other images to be found.
Yeah, nothing about that front end makes any sense. it has to be AI slop. There are small shocks/spings on the weird front forks, but the also a larger one that looks possibly center mounted? And like you said, there is no way to steer. Plus bits of the frame just ending, heading off to places that make no sense.
That doesn't really mean it isn't AI slop. Government entities post AI garbage regularly. Until someone has actual evidence or any kind of explanation for how that front end functions mechanically I'm going to stick with it being slop.

Are you saying something in the article is wrong or just linking to an alternative bike?
/edit: ubco is New Zealand so just established alternative.
