A quick web search has other sites reporting the engine as a 125cc and weight around 80kg. It would make a great commuter bike. I absolutely love the sheer simplicity of this design.

Wow, what a cool rig. Cornering fiends need not apply. But imagine it if could get 90mpg and go 80mph. It would be an ultimate city rig. I know it will never happen but if this could be a 200cc twin with FI and maybe just a bit bigger tires, it's a home run. I'd get one without hesitation.

I'm impressed with possibilities of this. Impressive; I’ve been scouting ‘Home-bilt moto-bicycles’ for a long time to find a durable design for traveling. I’m impressed with possibilities of this.

Something like this would be ideal for commuting and you might even get away with parking it at a bicycle rack. The price would have to be right though.

A 125cc running on that rubber could quickly create a very bad situation. Skinny tires = less contact. And when they do break loose, there's no more tire to catch it with. Somebody mentioned bicycle racers routinely go down hills at 50 or 60 mph. True, but they're racing and getting paid to do it. And the human body cant match the power that comes outa that little 125. Meaning it'll over power itself and again loose grip. And dont even think about hitting a wet spot in the road like a damp crossing stripe, or man hole cover or a RR crossing.........

You'd practically have to be dressed like the guys in Logan's Run just to seem .... right? I'll bet a 180 lb guy sitting on this with boots and a jacket would really look wrong, no....? C'mon. There are mountain bikes out there with more hair on em than this silly thing. But... to each his own.

My mountainbike costs more than that. If a production version were to look anything like the concept, I can't imagine it would cost less than $5000. It would be a pleasant surprise if it did cost less. There are some pretty sophisticated curves on that bike that won't be spit out by a stamping machine. I'm sure the target market is the lifestyle crowd that buy iphones and wear scarfs during the summer because they think people admire them for it, price be damned. $1500?
