Looks like my old home - Santa Cruz. I like the idea. If you sat down and tried to figure out how to add pedals and big wheels to a mini it would take a while - these guys did it. If you then tried to build the frame, swing arm, and rear hub necessary it would cost a bit. The price is twice as much as it needs to be to market the thing. And they need to source some cheap Chinese suspension to go with it to keep the price down. But it's 2 wheeled and it's cool. I'm seriously thinking/planning on buying one of the OSET electric trials bikes for quick trips to the gym and playing on. The operative word in all of this is 'play'.http://www.osetbikes.com/us/oset-bikes-en-US/oset-20-0-48v/
Those trips you are talking about is how the emerging markets guys use their small bikes .. For what ever reason, the states missed that boat...
oset arnt made for real boys, theyre aged for kids market if your thinking of e bikes look up zero fx these are more refined an made in us of a calafornia i think
thats where i got confused as these are definatly calaforinan not new zelanders didnt realise it was thought of in santa cruz lots of innovative peeps in the sun there
ha ha alll becomes clear now , i was on about electric bikes as oset were mentioned. lol yeh those look fun too. sorry for any confusion
