The inventor claims that speeds of 50 MPH are possible, but that’s pure rubbish. He’s apparently based that on the gear ratios alone, with no consideration the horrible aerodynamics, the moment of inertia of the needlessly gigantic wheels, or the tremendous weight of the contraption itself. I’m all for pursuing odd pursuits, but don’t try to tell me it’s some sort of design and engineering breakthrough when it’s really just a poorly considered pile of pipe.

It reminds me a bit of the Segue, which is a way to stay upright and get down the sidewalk... kinda like walking, but more expensive. This bike would be a rich man's toy. That was my first thought.
