@x87alpha1 Funny because the UNO bike is in a bunch of online news articles and is pretty legit. Its a fucking prototype, theres plenty of phenomenal inventions youve never heard about.
I am from Hong Kong, I can tell you... this will never work in HK, we have wayyyyy too many people to even walk through a street without stopping and waiting through the crowd.
@TheHaanswin Yes because this show with some young guys random idea represents all Canadian businesses. What about Blackberry? There are plenty of Canadian businesses and then you have to take into account that Canada's population is around 1/10th the US's.
that thing is useless...good university engineering project nothing more...uncomfortable as fuck, ugly as fuck, and you cant lean the whole point of motorcycles is about leaning in the forners feeling that sense of instability is what makes motorcycles...
Dragons were stupid because this things gone nowhere
@96JUSTIN yeah ur right man! this shit aint cool at all! i give the kids his props he's smart and everything but i would never buy such a thing! forget it!
I wonder if it would work well in Wales (UK) which is very hilly or even San Francisco - which is mega-hilly - I've never seen so many steep hills than in SF and I'm from Wales...
the uno 3 is fucking unbelievable i wanna get one so bad it can transform to street bike. Im trying to see where i can purchase one. U can even tell the dragons liked it by the guys face 1:24
@mangeunscio It's not fake, unfortunately this deal happened right before the 2008 Crash. The dragons pulled out of the dealing.
BUT Ben made something else and has a contract with the US Army and the bike is still in the pipeline, but in short he has made money and is doing alot of TEDx talks.
@benc454 they feed from each other. Again, 4 of them left less than one year later and the UNO project have failed. But this guy made another think which had more success.
Apparently this thing was a nightmare to patent because its a combination of many smaller patents/machines so they all backed out afterward (except maybe Bret, I think)
@jamiejohnson2196 The UK dragons do talk to each other. From the outset, if they like a pitch and want to invest in a business proposal, they'll assume at first that they're all rivals. But if a dragon makes an offer of half the requested amount, or 1 dragon asks another directly if they want to team up (has happened once or twice) or the pitching businessman requests for 2 particular dragons to team up, then the possibility of teaming up grows.
@jamiejohnson2196 The UK dragons do talk to each other, it's just that at the outset it's assumed they're rivals. This changes when either a) a dragon offers half the requested amount, b) a dragon directly asks a rival if they want to team up for a particular investment (has happened once or twice), or c) the pitching businessman asks for 2 particular dragons to team up.

Because it's half a motorcycle. Why would I want half a motorcycle?
Even the people developing it realized that having half a motorcycle is ridiculous and they added the possiblity of transforming it into a somewhat ordinary bike. So now you have half a motorcycle that you can turn into an ordinary motorcycle. It's a gadget, not a serious vehicle.
This guy is a techno-genius. I think it is a very cool invention in technology aspects. But, he does not know anything about the market. No one will buy this just because it is cool technology under the hood. A normal bike outperforms this in any way.
its more of a bike/everyday vehicle you can use easily, a motorcycle you usually ride when your showing off and stuff, not a quick 5 sec to the store and back, thats what this is more about.
Why can't i use my bike for a quick ride to the store and show-off as well!! Srry...but most guys arent rich enough to be able to afford different vehicles for different things.....one for store, one for work, one for club...lolz! this thing is $5000 and his market is thailand (poor).......wat sort of a stupid person is gonna spend $5000 on somthin that goes 15 miles/hr and is uniseater? wud u buy it? Then buy its much better designed competition.....segway....a failure!
it can't carry anything. only goes 15km/hr. It might look cool, but e-bikes are sweeping the nation. I think the Dragons made a mistake on this one. But good on Ben.
@carlangas74 Yeah and they don't need bad American editors slapping music all over the fucking show to sell it. Having no music or fancy cartoon effects doesn't make a programme bad. It's more immersive.
@carlangas74 If your judging it on this clip, then maybe. But these gays rape peoples companies off them, the UK dragons nearly always let the people who come in keep their companies...
At least they didn't steal the invention from him like the american ones do with some people. They bought a reasonable stake!! Heck this kid even brought it down!! That's amazing man this guy's my role model.
hmm where is this Dragons show from? Im only really familiar with the UK Dragons Den... I must admit that I like and prefer the UK dragons way more, dunno something about these guys attitude that just puts me off.... 'dont let the greed cloud come over your head' wtf?? furthermore I dont see myself riding one of these lol, looks unsafe and uncomfy. On top of that, im no big business genius or anything but I defo do Not see this thing flooding the streets of india or china hah
they didn't include the explanation of why it only goes 16km/h:
he was working on programming it to go faster, because the computer needs to keep the bike stable at higher speeds. the newest one goes like 50km/h i think
I remember seeing this pitch...what happened? There's never been a follow up to this one, which doesn't seem good to me. Why would they not follow up?
@PlayIt4MeAgainSam Ben gave a follow-up interview in a blog saying that all of the dragons but Brett bailed on him... makes you wonder how solid the "deals" on this show really are. It's cool though, Brett's now listed as a director of Ben's company, BPG motors. Happy that at least one of the dragons stuck to their word :)
@PlayIt4MeAgainSam because its a dud, and if those dragons actually knew anything about technology and the market they wouldve realized it from the start.
A seemingly great product, is just that, seemingly great. And many people throughout the business world cant properly distinguish between a product that is great and a product that is viable...
Still in development. It's planned to be available in 2012. I think it'll fail just as hard as the Segway though. For the exact same reason, it looks fucking silly.
@TakatoJoshuaKai "So is this show about five greedy rich people who wanna use the public's ideas to make themselves richer?"
This is a show about how 5 ambitious rich people consider giving their own money to an entrepreneur who has a good idea but no capital to bring it to the market. These rich intelligent investors will acquire a percentage of the business in exchange for giving them money that is asked for.
How does it cope under hard braking or cornering? Idunno, as clever as the internal gyroscopes and electronic systems are, I'd still like at least 2 wheels on the ground, one in front of the other :)
@1000sidney lol, if you were to invest tons of money you would like to know as much as possible about the product.. its not the same as having a atitude problem....
To do this at 19, you gotta give this kid credit. I'm 28 and haven't accomplished shit with my life, besides getting a degree. We need more people like him.
People will look stupid riding that. It offers no features above that of a normal electric bike but with more negatives. For example, what happens when the batteries run out and you're 10km from home?, and how do you park it?. $50 bucks says that will never see the light of day. Those so called experts have done their dough big time.
that's how kevin works, he tries to trick people into buying things at a price he prefers and does so by using manipulating them into thinking they are overvaluing.
i don't think he can get much sales for this for $5500 each it won't be able to compete with motorbikes which is faster,more comfortable and more convenient and i think even easier to "park"
I don't deny that it's amazing he made something like that for his age, but leaving his age out of the equation, this doesn't look practical.... I can't imagine myself using that regularly at all, maybe a ride or 2 in an amusement park to try it out...
I mean if any of the auto companies made that, we're going to rip it apart. The technology and engineering's amazing, but the product concept confuses me, why is this better than a normal motercycle/motor bike?
@FlameltaSK0 The market isn't you and I, it's commuters in overly corwded urban areas like those in China and India. In these places, people use bikes , tuk tuks, rickshaws, and other short distance low speed transportation heavily. I bet you wouldn't see a tuk tuk as viable for you, but they work for what they're made for.
@HelmetBlissta Your missing the concept. The wheels are retractable (great for parking and storing), take up my less space, less friction, more efficient and require less natural resources to manufacture. I don't think you personally would want this as you seem satisfied with your bicycle, but someone like me would be one of the first to buy it.
what they mean is, they are willing to give 30 percent of ownership over for that price. So say you have a product an you say ill give you 10% for 10,000 that means you think the products value is 100,000 If I go for it then I own 10% now if you make lets say 300,000 profit from that product then I would get 30,000 of that and I would have made a pretty decent little investment. That % is how much they are willing to part with or share with the potential investors

People will look stupid riding that. It offers no features above that of a normal electric bike but with more negatives. For example, what happens when the batteries run out and you're 10km from home?, and how do you park it?. $50 bucks says that will never see the light of day. Those so called experts have done their dough big time.

@aristideau What happens with any electric vehicle when your battery runs out? And, you park it like any other bike.

final price point of $5000 - 5500.. kind of expensive for Bangkok, India, etc. the populace there doesn't have the purchasing power to buy this...

that's how kevin works, he tries to trick people into buying things at a price he prefers and does so by using manipulating them into thinking they are overvaluing.

i don't think he can get much sales for this for $5500 each it won't be able to compete with motorbikes which is faster,more comfortable and more convenient and i think even easier to "park"

I can see the Uno going big in place like China and India. In 50 years it could be mass marketed and replace bicycles.

I don't deny that it's amazing he made something like that for his age, but leaving his age out of the equation, this doesn't look practical.... I can't imagine myself using that regularly at all, maybe a ride or 2 in an amusement park to try it out...
I mean if any of the auto companies made that, we're going to rip it apart. The technology and engineering's amazing, but the product concept confuses me, why is this better than a normal motercycle/motor bike?
FlameltaSK0 10 months ago
@FlameltaSK0 The market isn't you and I, it's commuters in overly corwded urban areas like those in China and India. In these places, people use bikes , tuk tuks, rickshaws, and other short distance low speed transportation heavily. I bet you wouldn't see a tuk tuk as viable for you, but they work for what they're made for.

It has 2 wheels, they are side by side. What is wrong with the conventional bicycle/motorbike set up? Why would I want this ?
HelmetBlissta 10 months ago
@HelmetBlissta Your missing the concept. The wheels are retractable (great for parking and storing), take up my less space, less friction, more efficient and require less natural resources to manufacture. I don't think you personally would want this as you seem satisfied with your bicycle, but someone like me would be one of the first to buy it.

i dont understand what the entrepreneurs mean when they say like... "70 000$ for 30% of my company" what the hell is that %?
FlyingSujin67 10 months ago
@FlyingSujin67
what they mean is, they are willing to give 30 percent of ownership over for that price. So say you have a product an you say ill give you 10% for 10,000 that means you think the products value is 100,000 If I go for it then I own 10% now if you make lets say 300,000 profit from that product then I would get 30,000 of that and I would have made a pretty decent little investment. That % is how much they are willing to part with or share with the potential investors
