The lovechild of a Whyte PRST-1 and an Ellsworth whatever.

It's strangely beautiful.

Looks like a random amalgamation of parts.

It's awesome!

It’s a Kuwahara, a Japanese manufacturer. Here’s one in TT Mode!

One advantage is that with 20" wheels you don't need to buy a bike ticket when travelling with Deutsche Bahn.

It has a quick release behind the shock. Being a URT, you can release the swingarm from the shock and then fold the swingarm around under the frame to make it more compact.

Kuwahara have made many awesome bikes. But everyone's gotta cut loose once in a while

I had an Airnimal Rhino. Loved it. Was a decent enough tool for Swinley and it’s what I cut my MTB teeth on. I liked how it fitted IN the car with the kids bikes. Fold was nowhere near fast enough, and was heavy, but rode well. It was stolen in the great theft with six other equally distinctive bikes. I didn’t replace it.

this looks decent too. As anyone with kids mAbs knows, tyre choice is the limiting factor.

Riding that down the street would get you some attention.

Is that your excuse for once owning an Ellsworth?

That's ace. New old stock with those vintage Deore LX gears but still great. Needs a nice/supernice GMBN style poll @stwhannah

Ooh .. that's just down the road from me. It's so bonkers I'm tempted. Mrs Onewheel might be a bit upset, she thinks 7 bikes are more than enough. Have any of you ever ridden one?

I love mine too, use it when I travel for work, of course since CV19 thats rare now! Its also decent for the Edinburgh potholes, they make Glentress look ultra smooth!

I honestly thought it was a bike for a circus chimp. Or a small dog

To be fair it looks a laugh, and I've definitely seen worse
