I remain extremely skeptical. The efficiency gains supposedly stem from fewer points of contact, but I have to wonder if it's possible to maintain 2 points of contact as stably as 6 on an actual moving bike, especially since the 2 contacts are at an approximately 90 degree angle. Right now, it just looks like they've invented a high-tech egg beater--there's no working bike they're willing to show.
