Battery about half way along the swing arm, so that's 50% unsprung. Rack bag behind the axle, so that's >100% unsprung, motor in the wheel so that's exactly 100% unsprung. OK, so the fat cop is going to outweigh all of that, but the low grade suspension combined with a high proportion of unsprung weight is going to make that thing wallow like a hippo in a mud bath.
