    Not bad for $649!

    Seems a bit weird seeing people gliding along on the flat without having to pedal.

    There’s an element of ‘the uncanny valley’ about it, no!?

    Would be flippin ace on steep muddy difficult climbs…!

    There were a few attempts at 2WD bikes in the past, they were apparently amazing on those climbs.

    There was a bike called the Christini I think..

    Interesting, I wonder if you could use that design to incorporate some sort of front suspension as well??

    The motor looks like a motorised front hub, with a track added? If so what’s the point versus just the motorised hub?

    Retched designers, always chasing some silly USP.
    Looks like a Sinclair C5 stuck in a hamster wheel

    Let’s see it work in the rain or over a pothole

    Riding a front-heavy bike with no front brake at 20mph will be… electrifiying?

    nvm, rim brakes. I’ll pass.

    Most annoying video music ever.

    What happens when a twig / stone gets caught in the drive wheel? Instant OTB I think?

    I also like how the video is demoing it on the flattest place on earth where one pedal stroke takes you a mile.
