If they wanted it to sound any good, they'd box the speakers to contain the sound from their backs and control the cones' movement.
Oh well... all that effort to produce crappy sound...

I see much room for improvement. The boys have good intentions but the bikes look primitive. With some more thought I'm sure they can come up with something clever. However, we should applaud their creativity. Apparently, this subculture is still in its infancy. I don't mind, just don't come down my block with that sh*t. (jk but really, we have enough with the cars)

a scraper bike, a work in progress lets hope.
i found myself riding behind a scraper bike in San Francisco last summer, it was a blast and everyone seemed to be enjoying the rolling sound machine.

It's likely this person paid "nothing" for the sound system. OTOH, some insurance company probably wrote a check to the owner of the car they were taken from.

I see many music bikes around LA but this bike is just weird. Usually people will get a rack and mount a battery and some speakers or construct a music trailer. That thing just looks cramped and uncomfortable.

Nonsense! You can build a dipole subwoofer easily. Dipole speakers in general have been commercially available for decades.
