facthunter Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I wonder how they handle Emu's and Kangaroos? Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Communications Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I like JG's pushbike idea but everything would need to be titanium to keep it really light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgwilson Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If you have plenty of spare cash the Yike Bike would be my choice. Made of hi tech carbon fibre, weighs just 11.4 kgs, 20km range with 23kmh top speed & 1.5 hour re-charge time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andys@coffs Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 So size of wheel is the major determiner of how small the fold up result is. 20inch wheels are much less stable than the larger 26" that most of us have graduated to as teenagers, and probably left as we got older. 20" is about as unstable as I would want...something with 8" wheels is in my opinion not something I want to park my butt on...I want to hit a rock and ride over it still on bike...on 26" I wouldn't generally notice the rock, on 20" it might cause a wobble on 8" I might well be sailing over the handlebars........

Akromaster Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 @ Andy...that's a good point. The small wheels on the URB-E is probably not going to work well on a highway. For the cost, weight and size I think the AirWheel is still well ahead, although the learning curve is a little higher. I did see that the Australian distributor of AirWheel shut up shop because they couldn't get exemptions for public use. Seems the same thing happened to the Segway.

Bruce Tuncks Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 As Jabiru Phil said, an Avocet would be the go. It is exactly this problem which the Avocet was designed to solve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
