Be still, fleeting barf 🤮

(VM’ve been teasing my inbox for a while now, was quite excited. Bah.)

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.

A high speed bike capable of 31mph*

*depending on local regulations.

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.

Or... the saddle is set stupidly low.

Can't decide which is worse, the capital O in thread title or that bike thing.

Thick tyres and theft defence in one bike? Count me in but remove my eyes first! It genuinely looks like something from playmobil.

^ THAT'S not playmobil, that's clearly Lego.

Also: How is that suspension linkage working then?

@batfink if you zoom in on the chainset you can see the pivot. Just a simple system.

Does standover matter on road ebikes?

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.
