Why not judge it on its design and cost instead of being whiny little babies every time something new comes out.

Of course they’re on the footpath. Fucktarded hipster twatgibbons.

since you have no seat and the frame isn't rigid it seems like an easy way to dislocate an ankle, knee or hip.

Why are people so negative? I'd give this a try if there were any local distributors.

Because the guys in the clip are weaving around pedestrians like 12 yr old skate boarders ? The trike's do look fun, but.

Its like $600 to get one to America. I'll have to try it, and get back to you all.

For that you'll get a fancy carbon or airline grade aluminum foldable bike with disc brakes.

I assume every time you break ends up in a face plant

I bet you have to pull back on the steering column to break. At least that's how I would've designed it.

Brake like a longboard?

That was my first thought.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

I think that's intended

Squat, and lean back to change your center of gravity. This isn't a PennyFarthing. You can change up the geometry. Dumbasses!

You don’t need to brake, just try to mount a kerb. Entire video was shot on billiard table smooth streets.

Try to mount a Kirby.

Rear wheel brakes, but you sure have to shift your weight back!

It has a rear set of brakes, you can see the cabling in pictures

8 years ago | Likes 22 Dislikes 1

If you hang over the handlebars sure. Otherwise no I don't think so.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

The center of weight is in front and mostly on the larger wheel, basically drive it slow and never go downhill like a regular tricycle.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Edit: looks like it has brakes on the back, tiny wheels. Can't imagine how short time it will take to wear them and since they're custom 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Where did you get that from? Because the brakes are at the back wheels!

It's only for yuppies that want to look cool getting coffee. You couldn't ride it for more than an hour without legs being on fire.

If it takes you 15mins to cycle to work...and you live in a tiny apartment on the 4th floor than its perfect.

I guess being active and fit is less likely... But for me that's the case sorry. I run races and mud runs, skate and BMX. So, try again.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

Wow, idk why I felt the need to justify that much. My bad. But yeah, leg day is a common occurrence for me.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 2

And this is better than a normal bike how? Can’t sit down, so long "rides" will suck

8 years ago | Likes 387 Dislikes 9

If it's really small and foldable it's quite nice for short distance traveling, isn't it?

8 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 0

Maybe but I fcking need one

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

As an overweight person who can't sit on a normal bike, I would kill for one of these. Less stress on my joints and I can "rest".

This is 100% because the people you live around suck. #1 is You're bike will get stolen if you don't bring it in.

#2 is your rent is so high you can't afford a car. #3 is traffic is so bad you don't even want to own a car.

I would call it practical for the not-quite-inner city. Tires look like they can handle uneven pavement and go faster than walking.

I just use a scooter... beats this in every category. Its lighter, more maneuverable, and stairs is no challenge

Not to mention it's probably loads better on your knees than walking.

Folding bikes already exist, and can get extremely small.

they do exist and i think weird trike will add to the small wheels collection!

Eh maybe? It seems like an overly complicated solution to a problem already solved.

doesn't seem overly complicated to me. I had to stand up and pedal half the time anyway and it looks fun. And small.

Using your standing weight to peddle takes less energy that sitting and peddling.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Except you're not have a walking cycle, but a pedaling one and it's in no way easier. You might use extra weight for a short burst of 1/2

8 years ago | Likes 0 Dislikes 2

extra force to help gain speed but trying to keep the upright position all the time and leaning to steer is goddamn not worth it. 2/2

8 years ago | Likes 0 Dislikes 1

I wholeheartedly disagree. From what I saw it simply takes some getting used to. You know like riding a bike did.
