Anyone up for it?
It'd be fine without that ugly bend in the crossbar. But pointless in the UK because you can't use all the extra speed benefits.
Ah! Not the Amiga game.
Why did they design it to have WORSE standover?
That is ****ing hideous!🤮
Is that actually by LEGO?
perfect to commute on. like it.

So, not much use in the UK then.
And that ball-bruising crossbar is hiding (in a loose sense) the rear suspension.
Whole thing seems generally ugly and pointless. So, it'll probably sell really well.

Joint First?
Good idea, let’s have a toke and then decide 👍
@batfink if you zoom in on the chainset you can see the pivot. Just a simple system.

Does standover matter on road ebikes?
"This bike makes you feel like an equal part of traffic"
Yeah, cos other wise, you're just [i]in the way[/i]
The whole concept is a massive ****
If Van Barf have ever designed a pretty bike, I haven't seen it.
