Have you tried it? Do you love it? Do you hate it? I would LOVE to hear some opinions.

I'm really curious about this thing. They are at the handmade bicycle show, so there are some out there. SOMEONE here has tried one....

That web site interface sucks ass.
My worry is that it says the hub is not suitable for "tandems, transport bicycles or similar". I wonder if that is because the mechanism would fail under heavy torque or if it is an axle load issue. Does it have a hollow axle on one side for the screw mechanism?
