IIRC, they're using motors from Integral, who also supplied VW with motors for the ID R racecar.

As long as it is quiet! I have a feeling that there might be too much torque for the rider to hang on to it!

No direction indicators. Not needed since the bike would be long gone.

I'm surprised that no one has commented on the charge connector.

It's not difficult to regulate the torque (eg in relation to mph to prevent inadvertent wheelies)

Spoilsport!!! And I thought the orange thing on the back wheel would prevent it!

Given what the price will be, an element of caution would be appropriate I'd say?

Maybe Triumph should build in switchable torque limiters which the rider can choose, at their own risk to turn off.
(a sane/sport/suicide switch!)
