Don't think this has been done.
I like it, maybe not [i]totally[/i] suitable for our weather and crap roads but it looks like a bloody good idea to me.
expensive novelty crap
why not stick some pedals on it?

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.
nice want one
the first girl in the video is pretty.
"£2,995(UK Pounds)"
Blimey you could get a bike for that!
but range of 9..10km 🙁
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
bah
for being so amall and light I'm quite impressed if it really can go 9 to 19km on one charge...
[i]The 20 inch front wheel gives you a smooth and stable ride[/i]
Is that not the argument 29er owners use?
[b]somebody is lying![/b]
an electric scooter/bike. no throttle, you pedal to make it go.
have a look at this....
I [i]really [/i]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...
anti-skid brakes 🙁
You'd need ABS. Any kind of rapid stop on that will lead to a faceplant.
