Adding 4WD, where does the shifter go?

Fat tire electric scooter
It’s the first one I’ve seen in person, the tech was very impressive. The motor is totally enclosed in the rear wheel, with tiny hydraulic disc brakes systems front & rear. A small magnetic card for a key, three power modes, and you better hang on in the fastest one!- Old Guy Bill
