Bike of the future

[Low Gear Guy]

They don't say what transmission system they use. Is it a shaft or electrical transmission from a pedal generator to a wheel motor or something that Scotty would be more familiar with.

probably a shaft drive as a pedal generator would not need gears.

Seems fairly impractical. Can you remove the wheels to fit in a car? Can it fit on trains? Can you fix a puncture? How do you park it, does it have a kickstand? How do you fix things when it breaks. Because it will break, guaranteed.

A bike of the future. Which is 3kg heavier than my bike of 2015.
No thanks.
But im sure it will appeal to the ilk that must have the latest Iphone and wear Beats headphones.

I didn't know Boots made headphones. Whatever next?!

Have you seen the videos on YouTube? It’s either an utter piece of sh*t to ride or the guy simply can’t cycle in a straight line!

 

[Tigerbiten]

He wasn't "riding" it.
From the way his legs were moving, that slow spin/stop movement, it looked like there was no power being generated by them.
So he looked like he was just sitting on it and letting a motor do all the work.
So the question to ask is were the pedals even connected to anything ??

According to some, the bike in the video was non functional with skateboard wheels attached to the bike wheel and rolling down an incline.

The whole thing smells fishier than @welsh dragon's home made apple crumble.

There's definitely something going on there.

Seems a good shout. The gouge out of the rubber on the front wheel/tyre never moves.

It's got a Dyson look about it

I hope it cleans carpets better than it goes down the road!

You mean it'll be built in Thailand?

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

If you want to look as though you've just ridden off the set of a sci-fi film it's great.

For every other occasion it seems more like a solution looking for a problem.

Obviously not for me as there is no triple chainring. And sending money three months in advance.

Ponzi scheme. Anyone stupid enough to send money up front for that contraption deserves to lose it. There's nothing inherently wrong with conventional bicycles. It's a bad solution looking for a problem. I'm sure the local yobs round my way would enjoy smashing them up and stealing them though. It would give them a welcome bit of variety from the Mobikes and Ofos they usually go for/
