Wait, didn't I get an ebike to avoid climbing a mountain... I'm missing something here...

Hehe... the bicycle pedal, as human appendix.

8) Watching someone else riding it doesn't convey the feeling to me, I'd like to try out the thing myself. Maybe I've been spinning my wheels too long.

As I've said to someone already about this bike, it looks like a fine solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Maybe their next crowdsourced project can be devising a new problem for which this bike is the solution.

What the heck is this thing. At first I thought it was just an out of the box design...until I clicked on the video of it in action! That pedal motion is ridiculous

The more of these oddball bikes I see on kick starter, the more convinced I am that my Ladder 2.0 idea might sell.

smoke and mirrors


if it does work as they claim why make it electric
ride it with no motor !


FAKE!

^^ Hehe... `Cause calling ANYTHING "electric" is HOT these days.

First, it does not simulate the movements of running, walking, or cycling as claimed. It might somewhat simulate climbing motions.

Second, standing up straight maked the bike less efficient aerodynamically.

Third, from looking at the video, it seems like the design makes generating power while seated difficult. That seems like a formula for getting tired quickly. That won't be comfortable on a long ride.

I'm with Chalo on this. What's the problem they are solving? The way I see it, this bike seems to create problems that a conventional bike solves.
