Some guy in my neighborhood has one of those things, or one very similar. I should track him down and get some more info. Looks like a blast

Looks like a mountain bike with an engine... I'd buy one, put a basket on the front and ride around in the bike lane.

some weight?

its nearly half the weight of your average dirtbike.

it would be awesome to ride around the street, see a mountain bike trail you like? take it. dirtbike trail? no problem. feel like stunting? sure. learning to ride and dont want a 400+lb 100+hp bike $6,000 to attempt it with? dont worry.

its awesome.

but i'd rather it have a 250 engine simply to use it on the freeway =P

Indeed, its a study in industrial design/engineering... and quite a sucessful one at that. I can see a whole market opening up for such an item. the frame minus engine must weight about 25 lbs

I guarantee with enough $$ you could buy anything or have someone build you your idea. I’m not a fan of buying cars/bikes that are built, id rather do the work my self. I don’t think I would attempt to build that Id rather *buy* one if I had a purpose for it.

That bike looks like a trials bike?, dimensions are completely off. More of a hybrid TRAIL/Hare Scramble bike with downhill capabilities

Nah, I never figured that it looks like a trials bike.. but I don't much see the difference when it comes to functionality. Small motor, low weight... same purpose, wouldn't you say?

*edit* There's a video floating around of RedBull's newest rider. He does freeride and such, and on a trials bike, so do a lot of folks, so I'm just kind of wondering... why's this special (aside from the fact that it's homegrown and just cool.. it doesn't seem to 'create' any kind of market, just look different than other bikes that do the same thing).
