There's some dotted lines here - anyone signing? Love it, but it needs some work, the footpegs are too close to the ground, people will be loosing toes, getting broken ankles, and spilled off the bike. |

Awful thing. Not in a million years.

Intriguing as a toy but I can't think what I'd actually use one for. Too damn small for me to sit on anyway. Can't think of a time I've ever wished I could unpack another form of personal transport from the boot of a car. Train would be a different matter, but what does one of those weigh?

These would be handy for those blokes in London who run those services whereby the customer goes out on the piss in his car, goes one over the limit and phones a geezer up who arrives on a fold-up moped, sticks it in the boot and drives the customer home in his own car.

BR class 444 Desiro is about 240 tons, you'd have a job to lift that out your boot. |

Ha bloody ha! My fault; meant to type 'these', not 'those'.

Hmm, now y'see, I do sometimes shove a normal bike in the boot when I know I'm going to need to get around a large busy city for a day. Could be persuaded. By the concept anyway.
Edit - though on further reflection, given that such a thing would only ( probably ) be used for very short journeys, and only does 20 mph, I can't help thinking its a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Almost certainly easier and more convenient to use a fold up push bike such as a Brompton.
Not to take away from the fact that it's quite possibly good fun of course.

Is that bag on the front big enough for an ice pick?
