WTF ?:twitchy: What is up with those brakes !

"no motorized vehicles permited beyond this point"
Ssssshhhhhh!

I guess it is the same frame as the Hummer bike - - which started as the Montague Paratrooper (http://www.militarybikes.com/), a bike actually designed for the military. Interesting too that it bristles with name-brand components, amazingly.

I would never own one; but for a long-range commuter, it's something that could actually probably get me to work all the way from home without having to leave at 4 am every day ;).

Not brakes, zeo_max - - front 'hub' holds the battery pack; rear hub holds the motor. They did it to balance it and keep the CG low.

Oh, hadn't noticed it was a cheater. :p

There is a line above which it is more economical to simply get a scooter.

^^ . . . or put the lighting coil back in my old dirt bike's magneto and make it street legal :D.

WTF ?:twitchy: What is up with those brakes !

What? they're just simple V-brakes. If you're referring to the hubs, the front is a battery, the rear is hub motor.

Awesome, me wants...

/me looks at price tag

Gee! I better get a 2nd job :(

i love the klein mantra! this bike not so much

I will OWN the climbs at our local Wed. night summer race series :D:

I dunno Dm, looks like you may have some other electric competition... for those who have a measly $13,000 to spare.

Beer cans? I thought flux capacitors used banana peels exclusively!
