The challenge was a big part of it yes, but there were some practical reasons too.
The design-constraint of having two wheels in the same plane is out of the way now! And id like to invite bike-designers, framebuilders, anyone really to imagine how this new technology can be applied in .... flat folding bikes... cargo bikes with better cargo space... wooden bikes....
The bike you see is what I made of it because I like it that way, its is not meant to show of the advantages. The technology can be put to use in other designs.
