It's a very clever bit of engineering.

Back in the mid nineties, I was involved in a trial of a fly-wheel powered tram, in New Road, Brighton. It didn't work.
But the bike looks like it could be a promising project. What's the cost likely to be?

Seems to me if presenter wasn't wearing flapping flares and wide-lapelled seventies jacket out of Oxfam he'd may well reach a top speed of 25mph rather than 20mph. Bit worried also about how all the fatties would lug the bugger up the stairs to WSU.

Fair enough, but you've not addressed any of my valid concerns.

Yes, but it's simple if he wants to go faster all he has to do is increase the speed using his mobile phone. And the fatties only need to ask a steward to help
Good points, well made

I was almost sold on it until I saw it only has a single cog on the wheel. No gears. So it makes riding without the power assist much harder

Don't ride it without the power assist then. Simples.

It'ss be harder to fix when a lorry or an obese, half blind cab driver runs you over!
Smart technology, green travel, finance that doesn't rely on the banks ! Seems like a lot of good things going on there, with lots of added value. Not sure about the smartphone sticky pad though.

Would you feel safe in an overhead monorail carriage travelling with too many obese Albion fans on board ?

$550 and the battery only lasts for 1000 charges! How much is a battery?
1 cog so it won't fit most bikes like it says because most bikes have 10+ gears so the chain will need changing, so more cost.
If you are a fattie then you should ride without assistance and lose weight!

If it was charged once every day it would last 2 years and 270 days. Gotta be cheaper then catching the bus!$550 and the battery only lasts for 1000 charges! How much is a battery?

the future of city travel is bicycle? i think its been tried already.
not knocking its smart engineering, but hardly revolutionary to have a battery powered bike, been done.
