hIs reference to a “differential” when speaking of the final drive is inaccurate. A differential is used to permit two wheels on a common axle to spin at different speeds (the “differential”).

Nice video.

Who is the manufacturer of that helmet? I really like the hi-viz aspect to it.

Is this a custom paint job or was this purchased as this color?

If you could give me some more details, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks
