    The transition from 2 wheels rear to 2 wheels front would be interesting if you hit a pothole or summat!

    Um......

    The first thing I thought when I saw it kinda sitting upright with the dude in it, is that people who rode/wore that thing would be in danger of taking stones/birds etc to the balls....

    So when the person is leaning forward to go fast there is nothing between them and the road surface. I think it would be much safer if the person was on top of it, not underneath it.

    It looks tiring to ride/wear. I'd also be worried about copping a stone or bird in the nuts. I guess ATGATT could include a cricket box or codpiece of some kind

    fuck i'd give it a hoon, with plenty of safety gear and no other vehicle around the sensation of speed in that dive mode would be epic, and if it 'lean' steers as well, all the moar awesome!

    I'll take one. Sure I'll keep my other bikes for the real biking experience, but that thing would be nuts (pun unintended) in full lean mode.

    When I first saw it I thought - Dear God NO! Then I watched the video and thought "fuck that'd be fun ... "

    Like to try one .. but probably wouldn't own one.

    Interesting concept, however other than not falling over on it's own what is the advantage or benefit of the design. I don't see any real improvement over the existing two-wheeler or the existing Can-Am design for a 3 wheeler (they can kick arse!).

    Looks like some type of space landing travel thingy.

    And how are you meant to get your knee down?
