The future! Soon you won't be scorned by purists for your front brake, you'll be scorned for using a frame like some poseur who needs cranks and chains to make bike go!

This is the best thing ever, well...
But this thing is made for downhill riding, because it can't be propelled by the driver. Now personally, if I were riding down hill, and probably at a decently fast rate, I wouldn't trust myself to use a front brake and somehow manage to keep any distance between the wheels. Sounds painful.
I'm sure soon enough I'll see someone crazy riding one of these things down Flagstaff Mtn going over 30.
