oh snap, fixed gears have just been out-hipstered. I for one will jump on the band wagon early and beat this new urban trend to the punch. I shall laugh at you guys in 2019 when you make the switch.

I saw some girl riding one of these the other day in the pearl. She looked ridiculous, especially with her boyfriend riding next to her on a 10 speed so slow he nearly fell over.

what's the point of taking the brake off to save weight if you're going to put golf balls on it?

Just Like This---
I remember back when when people said that anything other than a 'road bike' was lame------my how times have changed. Here are some other scooters that are actually in production (yes in countries that are not as amazing and brilliant as the good ol' USofA)...
www.kolobka.cz/katalog.php
www.kickbike.nl
https://www.avismonopattino.it/monomo...mod-riga1.html
www.exionscooters.nl/
And if you still think we are joking, then take a peek at the www.iksaworld.com. Did anybody make it to the Tour de France last year?-------what am I saying, those lycra wearers are using gears...........!
But really------yea it is just a fast scooter, at least as fast as you think you are!

lets see you drop in on a 15 foot half pipe on one, eh?
that takes some cahones, ever been on a skate ramp? (I doubt it)
but I agree that thing is just a glorified scooter, and a really heavy one at that.
we put hard (92 durometer) white snake wheels on the back of a big wheel, and took the thing hill sliding down buena vista in berkeley, many years ago when cliff coleman and I used to do hill sliding,...fun as hell, but you got tired of it after 10 minutes and wished you had just brought your stick, or skates.
probably the same with that thing
pass

Footbike and the Magic Wheel both make my brain hurt.
Sorry Moses, I don't think you've got a market here (or anywhere else, really) considering that most of us left behind in the 1980s. I'm pretty sure most, like me, may have seen one recently, jumped on it, went about two inches and said, "Wow, this isn't fun at all!"
We like crank sets and bottom brackets way too much. Seat posts and saddles too. Oh and chains and cogs. Top tubes.... Going fast...
