Yikebike!

This is neat. It's more of a scooter than a real bike but cool none the less. $4,500 Us. Yikes!

I'm a bully for calling it an electric barstool.


[edit] by the way, if you read my blog, you'd see that I am (well, used to be) on top of interesting products and trends.

Man, you're way ahead of me! Carbon fiber ejection seat also comes to mind. It does look well engineered though. Even has turn signals.

I built one of these "skate bikes" in my shop class, around 1986.



Seems to me that a sweet folding version could be produced today for around $100. As a matter of fact, let's get HandsomeRyan working on one.

Totally agree with you, Brian.
That's a bar stool.
