No dynamo, just a couple of battery packs which apparently last a reasonable amount of time.seen the thread on it already and now i want one!

I've only ridden it 5 miles so far. It's faster than my ICE Sprint but not that fast generally (as its rider is pretty slow). Versatiles are heavy and a bit short and without enclosed wheels so won't be really fast but it's comfy and easy to ride.

AH is in England, the VM is in the Netherlands, we will both be together in Germany in just over 4 weeks' time. At which point I will be able to give more info about speed/wackiness...
I may come back after a year, I may stay longer - who knows!

DO NOT OPEN THIS LINK!!!!!!
Many years ago when I was a youngster (well younger anyway) there came forth a magazine called "Encycleoedia" which investigated many of the cycling initiatives and developments and it was a "Bible" for alternative cycling
They are now available on line:
Issuu - Encycleopedia
It is interesting to see how various machines developed from early models to the later production models.
However as above - beware as these are addictive, and had a large effect on my wallet as it inspired the piurchase of the Trice, Linear, Birdy, Brompton, Street Machine and others
