I'll concede that point. There's no sense in, say, making a drivetrain powered by one Globe motor. Would it be unique? Yes. Would it be cool? Sure. Would it perform well? It's safe to say no. However, I don't think it's fair to assert now that a CVT will perform poorly, particularly when only one design has been tested.
