How long would you last alive on a bike like this?
 
Says the sales pitch...

"Street Legal As long as you don't put a motor on the Rhoades Car,
it's use is governed by the same laws as a regular bike. It's legal to
drive on any road that an ordinary bike travels."

Here's a picture...

So suppose you get your sweetheart on board and decide to take a
sightseeing ride around our busy streets --perfectly legal-- how long
would it take for some of those "beasts" out there to swallow you
whole?

I'm tempted to buy one. ;)

Definetely you are gonna need a T-shirt like this...

"You never know what kind of hungry beast you may find in there. Oh,
also take some water."

Looks good. It looks more useful for a park than a road though.

I have a dream... That someday people will go sightseeing in their
neighborhoods in vehicles like this.

And the dinosaurs will be gone with the wind...

Well, it's a car, no balance, and much more comfort than a bike. It
could be an alternative vehicle.

If it's manoeuvrable and can be fitted with lights, etc, I see no reason
why it shouldn't be used on a road.

cheers,

These have actually been around for quite a while. I had a similar vehicle
made by another manufacturer. In theory, it was a great idea, until one day
I had to drive it off the nice, flat road that runs in front of my house.
Even with the full-throttle calf power of myself and my wife, we couldn't
get up even a tiny hill without gasping for breath and wailing in pain.

Looking at this picture got me psyched to own one again. However, as Luke
said, I think I would approach it as less of a local transporation vehicle
and more of a toy to bring to the local park. The only problem is, it costs
as much as that new two-seater automobile they're selling in India!

Where's the point for a cyclist in trying to look like a car? *)
And be probably almost as heavy as a car, have almost the drag of a car, ...
People unable to hold balance on a two-wheeler have better designs
(trikes) at their disposal than this.

Tadej
