[wautur]

this is fuckin nice! maybe we could ride together :)

cheers!

[Whymcycle]

@wautur your big tire bouncing would be fast and not too much work to ride...

we'd need good brakes, yes?

[ModernModr]

this thing would get millions of views if you put a camera on a track to get footage of the machine movie from the side. this video is lacking, get a better camera. still sweet tho, don't get me wrong

[Whymcycle]

@ModernModr no worries. I'm just a builder / rider, sharing my stuff. There's loads of video of me riding/racing this machine. look for the parades & Kinetic Races videos on my favorites. I'm not going for gorgeous quality, just showing what's around...

[Navello1985]

Hey, cool. Paint it black and stick some guns on it, and you have yourself your own bouncing Bat-Pod =D

[Whymcycle]

Yeah... I've seen 'you tube's of it. those big boys are hell to balance, unless you can stand up like on mine. Most of the Bat Pod in motion has to be CG or blue screen. Mine's pretty easy AND you can ride double..humpa, humpa!:-O

;.,,,,,

[Whymcycle]

once you're moving, it is little effort. Going up a hill isn't hard, since the drop of your body and the weight of the machine pushes it up hill @ half the time. Can't go too fast, but cruises nicely at @ 6-8 mph... sprints up to @ 12...

[tardesnegras]

is it more or less tiring than pedaling??
