I'm not a bike guy... but this one's cool!
I like the simplicity of the design and the single sided suspension is a nice touch cheers, Jeroen |

It's one of a kind, so if you have to ask about price...
The fuel tank is where the oil tank would normally go and the oil is in the frame (i believe). |

Cool bike.

The rear brake is the chain sprocket. No front brake.

I thought it was a right foot brake, left foot clutch pedal (just like a car) with the right hand as the throttle, like normal, and a suicide shifter just underneith his left leg while riding (if you've seen the American Chopper with the 'old skool chopper' it's the same idea). Definitely need to get used to that one, even tougher than a jockeyshift to drive, more like the old Indians had.

if you look at the picture where he's riding the bike, the toe of his left foot is beneath the lever. to me that implies that its a regular gearshift lever. oddly enough it appears to have a hand shifter on the left side too......but its set so the end is pretty much right in your crotch.........that would be weird.......no front brake would scare me too.......i almost never use my rear when i'm riding.......i wonder if maybe its got some kind of a linked brake system thats opperated from a single foot control.......that could be kind of neat.

so, what happens if you slide off the seat backwards at 70mph? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
what a ugly visual (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) also, the suspension doesn't seem to have a lot of travel, front or back. NOT good for california roads ... looks more like a concept to keep in a glass-jar rather than a driver, Andy |
