Don’t forget to use a belt drive (as shown by Orange/Gate Industries).

If the battery demounts easily to charge indoors thats another bonus.

…re: tim/masiguy…i’ll say it here, again for the benefit of anyone unfamiliar w/ this gentleman…tim jackson is an eloquent spokesman both w/ in & for the bicycle industry…i’ve never met the man but in listening to him speak during a podcast, i found myself wanting to hear more because of how well he expressed himself…
…get healthy & get strong, masiguy…you’re needed…

Overall, great idea and design. Now the trick is making it functional and sell-able…which is a hard road for most concepts.

From a geometry standpoint they may have some way to go but they do look flashy – and perhaps the less they look like normal bicycles the more people may adopt the concept as a replacement for the car.
