Don't think this has been done.
I like it, maybe not totally suitable for our weather and crap roads but it looks like a bloody good idea to me.

Nice bit of design if you ask me. Nothing to do with cycling mind but as a city whiz about. Why not. One less car and all that green crap. Looks quite quick too. Could be fun pissed around the fod. Does it count as a single speed. Its certainly ghey enough.

"£2,995(UK Pounds)"
Blimey you could get a bike for that!

power to weight ratio better than a sports car. Until you sit on it... DOH

note that the promo videos don't include traffic lights, potholes, ruts or traffic - that back wheel is going to get hooked up on the smallest pebble
they don't look particularly manoeuverable either
.
what I dislike is that it looks like it could be well engineered, waste of time and talent

for being so amall and light I'm quite impressed if it really can go 9 to 19km on one charge...

The 20 inch front wheel gives you a smooth and stable ride
Is that not the argument 29er owners use?

an electric scooter/bike. no throttle, you pedal to make it go.

I really like that... could be brilliant for London, though the price is a little prohibitive...

In that video it looked like it could be powered by the users own sense of smugness, so STW could be a market

of course I meant 9 - 10km...

ride it fast in the rain and you'd be rewarded with a face full of urban gack thrown up by the front wheel!

What a vehicle with one big wheel really needs is a V8.

You lot are crap at this browsing lark :p
There *is* a video involving a pothole, fwiw...and I think puddles too...
They tried doing pedals too - there's a separate site selling rights (iirc) to that design - link somewhere on the site...Posted 1 year ago # -
anti-skid brakes

You'd need ABS. Any kind of rapid stop on that will lead to a faceplant.
