german overengineering at its finest...why buy a $9 schwinn at china-lmart when you can buy a $1837809.89 dollar one that will kill you, and then no one will be able to get new parts for it when they try to fix it after pulling out from under that minivan that ran you over.

genius!

The folks in NZ are most often confused with Aussies (much to the chagrin thereof) but where did you get Germans?

Apologies, i saw this title in the gallery section "Launch of the YikeBike at EuroBike 2009 in Germany" and assumed they launched at home...and quite frankly, taking a simple device and infinitely over-complicating it and making it impossible to work on yourself is the one thing European engineers are really good at, I just took its German herritage for granted looking at that monstrosity!

Now thats how you prepare for wearing your flamesuit 914
