You've ridden them? [Viktor seems to visibly brighten at this.] If you have any notes, let me know. I'm not sure what improvements I can make from Nocwich, but I am happy to provide solutions.

[Even if his number one recommendation is inflatable rubber tires. But he does know that having the bikes at all is a victory in itself.]

I'm working on a motorized version. [Not an automobile, but perhaps a stepping stone.] For Cadens, of course. I've been lucky not to cause an international incident, thus far.

[Except for the recent bombing of the castle. But, well, not something he's going to mention.]
