So You Like Bikes with Short Chainstays?????

The people riding that thing in the promo video look so awkward. It's like a unicycle with handlebars!

 

That design does not look erklenomical. I'll take a Brompton instead, probably fit better in my car than that thing.
Wait, if it's chainless couldn't you just make it without a free hub and save some dough on brakes and a free wheel?

 

Yup, look like that bike wanted to pitch them forward and not one of them had full leg extension.

 

More proof that if you put a wheel on it, someone will try to ride it.

 

I bet it would be way more stable if the back wheel didn't swivel. If the back wheel didn't swivel, it would probably be the ultimate wheelie machine!

 

110° seat tube angle may be a little hard on one's genitals. That chick looked positively uncomfortable! Not sure about the efficiency of pedaling with your feet behind your hips.

 

Set-back seatpost and 30mm stem, FTW!

 

I'm finding all sorts of things wrong with that bike:

*non-tapered HT
*QR front axle
*no Plus-wheel option offered

J, I need a little more help here...

 

The primary challenge seems to be to appear as though you're comfortable.

TFPU!

 

Its missing cupholders...

 

I think this is better... but do *not* fall off

Disc brakes, single speed, Sh!t ton of stem spacers. It meets most the criteria for awesomeness.

 

(-_-!)

This is like the crap you see at Shot Show that clearly were designed by people who aren't into guns.

For serious... what is the benefit of this thing besides doing u-turns on a sidewalk?

That short wheel base with rear steering looks fantastic for high speed stability and getting where you need to go without eating shiitake.

I get needing a portable bike you can fold up and take on the train, but there are so many options:

1. ride this bike if you feel constipated and need to shiat. The riding position is perfect to help push one out.
2. where can i get one? I could give up coffee and just ride this to work in the morning. Boss makes a dollar, i make a dime. Thats why I shiat on company time.
3. could be a lot of fun to ride in swivel mode (like the old swinger bikes) in heavy foot traffic downtown LA, or somewhere similar. the ultra tight wheelbase would make for some good weaving.
4. is that a spinergy wheel set?

 

More thoughts.....
1.With 800mm bars you could totally Pr all you DH spots
2. E-bike version is a million dollar idea
3. Coming soon, a division for these at Sea Otter dual slalom
4. Q-factor is on point
5. Seat tube angle, what's that?
6. I want one

 

FYI you will probably need this saddle mounted in reverse.

 

When did the bike chain become public enemy #1?

 

sometimes when I forget to tuck my right pant into my sock, it gets dirty from the chain.

 

Nope. Just nope.

 

F*ck you chain! Your days of efficiently transmitting power since before the industrial revolution is numbered!!!!!

 

The only good thing on the video is the girl ...

 

The prices for those bikes are insane, considering you can buy a Citizen folding bike for $200 - $400 depending on the model.
