Looks interesting. Seen it before somewhere. I guess if you accelerate or brake too hard you'll finish up on your head!!

Looks fun but I don't crave one.

Like the sound of the motor.

Max I remember seeing that guy before, I have a feeling there was also a article in MCNews on that very bike quite a long time ago :!: but I did see him riding it on TV. Not my sort of thing but still very clever and I would imagine one would need to be quite skillful to ride it successfully :!:

The thing in the vid looks like fun. Highly unstable, I'd imagine, but with a pair of those pop-up skate shoe thingies as "trainer wheels", I reckon I'd have a blast.

I agree with the red thing though. How would you not just rotate backwards onto your butt?
