I really hope there is some sort of battery powered assistance lurking in that top-box

I like the headlights that follow the steering angle despite being mounted to the main frame.

I do believe the bicycle in question is a humourous pastiche of a CATerpillar heavy loader/mover, hence the yellow paint job and 'kitten' name.

Either way it's a complete waste of time, money and resources just so some prat can build a 'wacky' bike to impress his friends.

As far as I am aware the solar panel is for the front lights.

Having the knowledge about building bikes with car tyres could prove very useful when the oil runs out so I'm all for it! ๐Ÿ™‚

look like vredestein commuter tyres

would michelin o/r be more suitable? or a BFG A/T for hardpack?
