Is it just me, or are there a few features missing? Looks like you'd get washboard abs riding it though.
THE LIPO RULES. NEVER ABOVE 4.3V NEVER BELOW 2.7V DON'T PUNCTURE

What the frig?

That's not a bike. It's a...backpack with wheels? Needs seat + pedals. :?

Kind of a nifty concept, but it's like tobogganing as a kid; it takes a lot of time and work to get up the hill just for a short fast run down it!

It looks like a fancy Razor Folding kick scooter. That tiny rear wheel.. and actualy the front wheel too, would be too small to clear most trail obsticles in the U.S. Imagine hitting a tree root or a fallin branch with that rear wheel.
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
