Forget about shocks. Unsprung weight? not an issue... PSI? wasting your breath. Disks or calliper? Whatever...
Think you're fast? Your EV really flies? How sad...
These EVs really, really fly, and they've traded in a lot of your EV worries for 30 square yards of silk and string...
Just fwd'ing a msg I sent to the EVDL. Thought some here might find of interest.

Just wish to update this thread from last April :

Point is, for these airborn EVs, things have been happening fast since
last April...
Production plans here:
http://www.electricppg.com/Developments/NeilAndrews/index.htm
And Yuneec International, Ltd. touting their gorgeous second generation
ePPG concept here:
http://www.electricppg.com/Developments/yuneec/index.htm
Quite a scaling up of their current product offering:

EVers that concern themselves w/motor copper content may enjoy the ePPG
motor and winding pics at the bottom of this page:

As they say, EVer onwards and upwards (here, literally!)
