Seems pretty awesome! I'd love to try one out in a parking lot, not sure if I'd want to own one... maybe there is rental-opportunity there. I am kinda surprised that the frame bend isn't triangulated, perhaps that's something that will happen for the production version.

Congratulations, you reinvented the Big Wheel.

So they've updated the Green Machine idea from three decades ago? http://www.kidzworld.com/article/4073-the-huffy-green-machine

I love weird bikes, but I just struggle to see why anyone but young kids would want one of these.
It would probably help their cause having a few to show off in the colours that will be available - the matt black paintjob makes it look very much a home garage-built experiment.

Really looks like fun. Was wondering whether the idea of gearing wouldn't add a dimension to the fun/speed as well. Good luck with it d'-)

Those tiny rear wheels will make for a hard ride on anything less smooth than a basketball court.

maybe with different sizes and a good suspension.

And if this doesn't take off he could always consider a career in film-making. This was pretty entertaining. :-)

Double Yup to Slowburn!
Keep this "bike" off the roads completely no matter how beautiful, intriguing, or fascinated you are by it.
When I was middleaged I befriended Gordon Buehrig and his friend Bill Allison. Bill was something else. He was a suspension designer and held close to 80 patents on suspensions. He invented the Packard "Torshion Ride" that Jay Leno extolled and Clive Moulton remebered playing with when he was a teenager. It seemed that the self leveling aspect totally intrigued him.
I once commented to Bill that I loved the Mog or Morgan 3 wheeler. He quickly said that it was inherently dangerous, stay away from 3 wheels! He insisted that it was nothing more than a motorcycle.
That proved to be true during the Progressive Insurance Automotive X-Prize. I stood in the stands watching one of the 3 wheelers repeatedly spin out during the brake tests.
Mentioned it to one of the Consumer's Mag reporters and she broke out in incredulous laughter.
Bill knew what he was doing. and saying.

How bout ONE rear wheel?
