Hi

Seen this?

Although they seem to ignore the 'blade leaving it behind from the lights!

All the best

Cyclists traveling at 50mph with no gear...... next headline "hospital cases go up 500% cause of e-bike"

Love the idea though, but I would prefer an electric motorbike though.

So essentially its just an electric bike that you charge up normally, only you have to pedal to make it go?

The clip made out it was some new wonder bike that makes you go 50mph just with light pedaling....

I doubt the hospitals will be overrun considering the $30k price tag Shocked !

'No carbon emissions'

He must have created a perpetual motion device, or free energy machine.

Clever boys these Germans.

In serious mode, I don't know why people don't just ride bikes. IN a few months practice you can get to a good level of fitness and clip along at 20mph+ easy on the flat. In city streets it the obvious commuting tool.

People are just bloody lazy.

I choose life, thank you very much.

And I speak from the point of view of an ex cyclist and a motorist. All the vulnerability of a motorcycle, none of the speed or presence. Yes. Winning combination.

Richard. Commutes through London every day and has a healthy dislike of the lycra clad arsebuckets.
