I can't see that working. Where do my pannier and lights go? Also not good for the ankles and knees if you travelling any real distance

 

[potsy]

WTF

 

[BentMikey]

HOW'S your fathers?

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Chains lack.

 

[purpleR]

er, from the front it looks like a mankini

Can't see being suspended by one's gusset being a popular on potholed UK roads

I have absolutely no interest in ever trying this concept out, but out of a weird curiosity I'd love to know how much the developer would expect to charge people for their own sweaty self castration!

That looks like it would be very uncomfortable to ride over any great distance. I certainly wouldn't like to try it over anything other than a really decent road surface.

A solution looking for a problem IMHO.

 

[jonny jeez]

looks like a lot of fun, perhaps a little too much like one of these though...

The video shows a huge amount of flex in the frame, not sure how strong that would be for a decent sized pothole or speedhump.

Forgive the stupid question but is this something you buy to basically push around and look like an idiot with more money than sense?

Another solution looking for a problem

It's also fitted with an mp3 player which blarts out "I believe I can fly"...............I will get my coat

 

[marzjennings]

Oh yes, that'll be great in the wet where the front wheel will spray water over your entire body.

As mentioned, a solution looking for a problem.
