Okay, where do I buy that last one?
22 pounds is still quite heavy for a lot of people, the traditional bicycle seat still kills off a lot of crotches, and the price is way too high. How much faster is it than, gulp, walking?
I can see how they came up with the name. Slam on the brakes because a car pulled out in front of you and YIKES! you’re launched onto the pavement.
I wouldn’t want a Segway - my back hurts if I stand too long. Also, you can’t fold up a Segway and carry it.
This sounds like a much more practical design.
3495 Euro ($4700) is a bit expensive. I’m sure the Chinese knock offs will be half the price.
If you are interested in finding a good bike trailer, however, an online search should turn up plenty.
I did research for my kids, but never found anything that would track very well. This would track well, as demonstrated in the video. Thanks.
THese guys did pay much attention to histry
The term safety bicycle was used in the 1880s for any alternative to the penny-farthing, later historians began to use the term in a more restricted way, for the design that was a direct ancestor to most modern bicycles.
Diamond frame is also sometimes used as a term for safety bicycles, even though this technically only refers a certain type of safety bicycle. The retronym upright bicycle is used to distinguish the style from recumbent bikes.
Yike Bike - Another word for “fatal face plant”
What is wrong with the “EZIP”, for example? At 450 USD, it won’t bust the bank or your face.....
Looks like you didn't pay much attention to history either.
Just borrowed from the research of others, eh?
Oh, man...I want one of those!
I’ve often considered getting a bike trailer. I go mountain biking into the deep bush, on abandoned logging roads, and I’ve thought it’
d be cool to take camping gear with me so I could camp out for several days, instead of always having to come home when it gets dark.
Do you have one of those?
Thanks...

You can get to some camp sites that would take forever to hike to and those trailers would probably carry more stuff that you could carry on your back.
Great for weekend camping in, as you say, the deep bush!
