Don't know if this has ever made the pages on TY before. Does anyone know the story behind this thing and is it a possibility that this thing could make production? What was a target price? How fast is it? It appears the electric motors are in the hub and ergonomics are adjustable. What's the range?
The back end of the thing looks like a RX-1. :-o

lol cool. Be nice for a nice evening ride down the sidewalk. But things like this show me why the population is just getting heavier and heavier. What ever happened to walking down to where your going? These days you jump on some motorized thing and off you go. The only excercise you get is walking around in the store. lol Cool looking thing though.
 
Depending on output I don't see why something like this couldn't hit 40-50 mph. I have a friend who put a 1000 watt motor on a bicycle with a 3 12 volt batteries in series that can probably do 30+ mph. And can go approximately 12 miles on a charge. I could see myself buying something like Yamaha's proto-type for local commuting in the summertime. charging something like this would have to be penny's to charge. Take a look at blade electric cycles http://www.electricmoto.com/ or http://zeromotorcycles.com/
 
Where does the energy come from when the batteries are DEAD and where do the batteries go when they are REALLY DEAD???La La La lalala
