Killer Bike
TOKYO, JAPAN: …. bicycle venture Lutz displays the new foldable bicycle ‘Carry Bike’ featuring small wheels with suspensions and which can be used as a hand cart once folded at the annual Japan International Cycle Show in Tokyo…
Yikes! The reason I call this a “killer bike” is not because of the kool design (or the cooler babe in the picture).
If you notice, the drive wheel and drive chain go to the large rear wheel but the front wheels are tiny. The first curb or pothole the ‘Carry Bike’ runs into will cause it to tip forward and dump the hapless person riding the bike on their head.
OUCH!
Anyway, since the bicycle costs 48,000 yen ($420 USD) I don’t expect very many ‘Carry Bikes’ to be sold.
For more information. visit the smallish engrish website for the Japan International Cycle Show in Tokyo.
UPDATE: China has always cooler/uncooler things such as this killer bike.
