Without a doubt, this bike looks amazing. I enjoy biking here in Georgia, it’s an important way I can get around. Some people overlook that and look at bikes just as leisure vehicles. Love this blog and I’ll return.

I caught this trike by Felipe Tolomei posted on gizmodo. Shows some similar lines with some of the other concepts on the flickr page (I’m thinking of the solid red Specialized with the non-adjustable seat). At least Hugo Cardoso’s included pedals… I guess this trike is for downhills mostly

Maxrad, it is probably an older drawing. Go to the picture in flickr and you can see Scott's name on the side of the page.

ghostrider, it does look Vespa inspired. Yeah, it has some issues, but I always like to see concept bikes. The Vespa/moped aesthetic might be appeal to people who don't ride now but would consider a bike with electric assist.

The Globe concept looks like a Vespa as seen through the eyes of Giorgetto Giugiaro…I am left underwhelmed.

I may be wrong, but I’d be surprised if those are Scott’s helmet renderings. Although I love his work, I don’t think he’s done anything for Specialized in years.
