Looks pretty stylish for around town.

Personally, I'd want a Cheech & Chong paint scheme

Will they raise the money? Or will it go up in smoke?

I've got this order in for a cotton/hemp 12oz canvas that seems to remain in perpetual back-order. I do believe they may be smoking it.

The seat looks way too high, that girl riding one in the vid could not put her feet down and stop, she had to jump off while it was still moving!
The front brake on the one in the pic above would work better if the caliper was bolted on!

Looks like it needs some redesigning before they start!
