[Closed] It's a scooter, no hold on, it's a bike.....Wait a minute....it's...erm.....

You'd **** your legs off the pedals when trying to scoot it

Looks like something for ladies in crinolines.

That's even got a bit of fat in it, so it's niche enough that someone on here should have one.

That steerer needs a trim though.

To echo the comments on bike rumour, which bottoms first, the fork or the frame? Kerbs could be exciting...

Also, when would you scoot to power yourself along, instead of pedalling?

Wouldn't the suspension in the front cause the base to bottom out when compressed? Or is it just meant to look like a suspension fork? (I'm on an eensy weensy iPhone screen.)

EDIT: D'oh! Didn't read every post before responding. My point already been made. 😳

Yep. It's rigid.

Makes (a bit of) sense I suppose.

Ahhm still oot

Why not have the best of both worlds?

Sure. A scooter which weighs 35lbs and has sticky out bits, a bike which will ground riding off a kerb and flex all over the place.

Don't understand why it needs to be a scooter AND a bike - just a bike would do, surely?
Brompton have already got that market sewn up I think.
It weighs more than my 2005 Orange Five!

Better looking though. 🙂
Sorry.

I didn't know Jeff Jones had started drinking again.

Theres a horrid cable coming out from the rear of the "scoot" plate at the heading in the rear wheel direction..
Looks odd and a bit..pantz.

Enduro Green though 😆

An answer to a question no one is ever likely to ask.

which bottoms first, the fork or the frame?

The frame, seeing as the fork is quite clearly rigid made up to look like a bouncer... It's a scooter fabricated using the imagination of a seven year old...

This is the trouble with kickstarter, it encourages every [i]dreamer[/i] with a half baked scheme to "give it a go" and start trying to bullshit the interwebz into a frenzy over their nonsensical ideas... I liked the good old days when stupidity and lying got you ridiculed and ostracised.

That's gotta be for adults that haven't learnt to peddle yet?

Could be perfect for someone with limited mobility.

...or a desperately cool person that used to have a beard and a full sleeve of tattoos.

Coming to a renton thread near you soon..

You are the inventor and I claim my £5. That's the sort of BS people always seem to come up with for badly designed rubbish like this without actually properly thinking it through. If the person of limited mobility can't ride a bike, then they'd be better off with a normal scooter (assuming they're capable of riding one of those), if they can, then all the same issues apply as for anybody else.

and you'd smash your ankle on the pedal with the pushing foot when you tried to scoot it

PILE OF SH1TE !!!

Could you fit a woodburner on that footplate?

Ed makes a very valid point. One slip and that would run you over with the pedal pinning your foot to the floor thus busting your ankle.

It does mention in the blurb somewhere about the pedals being removable for scooting, but I'm not surprised that nobody else has read any of the blurb, not criticising you for it, and don't feel entirely comfortable about defending it in any way.

Doubtless it will be oversubscribed 🙄

Its $999 retail, or $649 if your doubly stupid to buy it during the kick-starter process.

However, the world has no shortage of stupid people, some will send their money.
