Ocean1 you can buy a yikebike here: http://www.yikebike.com/compare-models

From what I can tell there are quite a few electric commuter solutions out there, but they're all so highly priced.

The scruuger thing is another good idea, but if it's priced too high it'll never get purchased.

I meant the NZ version of the wee beastie pete-blen showed us:

now one of these.... for almost impossable terrain....

And by taxing my memory to the max and dedicating endless hrs on t'google I found them: http://www.fxbikes.com/

Looks to be slightly more expensive, slightly more technically advanced. Damn fine idea but it looks like they're still short of some marketing clout.

I wouldn't rule one out. In fact I might have a word with Santa.

Prices will be around US$5995 retail as we roll out our dealer network, BUT…

Team FX discount price is US$3995 ex factory if you make a reservation now!

That would be fun but 3500 wouldn't one be better off getting a trials bike?

Well no. Although depending on workable shortcuts I'd do it.

But I think Pete was comparing the two based on their respective claims to a fun budget.

Because neither is going to have much impact on the practical transport market. No here anyway.

As for a sleeper, this may well be my next project:
