Well, they made sure to show that the bars can move, but what about the shifter and the rear brake pedal?

It probably runs on a big electric-hybrid motor, has no transmission and uses regenerative braking.   Roll Eyes

wow  Roll Eyes

Products for hypocrites that want to be anti-mainstream, anti-consumerists so they can emulate the eclectic elite...  While the designs certainly are unique looking, there is a good reason that so much capital has been poured into evolving the designs of the more traditional products that are currently on the market.

I would list it on ebay, and let the highest bidder put their logo on the side of it for a month. Then.... I would go to walmart and cruise for fat chicks.

Fixed it for you  cheeky

Right angles.  Comfortable!  Design should first serve a purpose.   That purpose should never be "to look awesome."  Fail.  It is not even that interesting to look at.

I'd paint up the sides like bricks and then park it next to a brick wall just for fun.

I'd own it.  I'd ride it but it would have to be (as they quote) around town because freeway speeds would be flat-out scary should you encounter a side-wind!

Nice that some designer is thinking outside the (wait for it) box, but it's appearant the designer DOESN'T ride a motorcycle.  At all.  At any time.  Ever.

At the bottom of the page they state that they're looking for investors.  I bet people are just chomping at the bit to invest in that wonderful idea.

I'd love to see what happens when a good sidewind gust hits you.  Actually I'd hate to see that.

the same type of twat designed the super miracle building i work in.  it's a make the beast with two backsing nightmare.  retard graduates with nice drafting skills need to play with 3D items before getting shit like parking lots and workspaces built.. or motorcycles.

it's going to cost us over 30K to change the lights in a 7 story stairwell, because, although fully glass and delightfully lit during the day the stairwell is dead dark at night now that half the bulbs have burned out.  the bulbs burned out, you say?  but aren't they the super-eco-nifty small fluorescents?  why yes they are, however they were never spec'd to go 24/7 with the heat of the sun and their own heat pent up in the spiffy little tiny niche under-stair pots they're in.  they have to go 24/7 because they're in a stairwell which is a main emergency egress.  there's no way to reach them, easily, because the designers were SURE the bulbs would go for 10 years.  state of california says "NO LADDERS ON STAIRS" so we can't sneak them out one-by-one, even.  more than half are out, we're contemplating the work order for the scaffolds, and running string lamps down four floors to provide emergency illumination.
RAHR, make the beast with two backsing ARCHITECHTS!
