I like the comment at the end of the article - "What could possible go wrong". Well, let's see - 80 mph and controlled by flexing index finger.

I would love to have this on some of the hills around here.

Given the weight distribution, I might be able to deal with it for about 2-3 minutes before my back would go out. I could see myself hitting a bump and going airborne.

One would need to be careful how they waved at a nice-looking chick.

And what happens when you look over your shoulder when you are double checking that the lane to the left of you is clear.

Cool idea though.

At least when the Tandem gets dropped- Propulsion stops. Can just imagine Trying to switch the motor off with a Tandem wrapped round Your Body.

My doctor must have invented this...he can control me using only his index finger also. Steve

I need to get the modified glove which uses the middle finger for control, then as I flip off all the crazy drivers here, I'm kicking into another gear.......
