It might not be so weak as it looks. It appears there are carbon fiber parts which would be stronger and more flexible than metal. Think of the stress that carbon fiber snow skiis take without any problem. I’m guessing that steering is by torque flexing the frame with your arms?

Perfect for climbing 45°hills, but impractical for racing.
