the new stingray

It's the weirdest thing, it has a motorcycle wheel and tire on the back and
it weighs a ton.

Yup. Cycling can be about transportation and style, too.
That thing will get a lot of kidz away from thier computers and back outside.

It weighs at least 50 lbs and probably more. I came upon a kid
struggling to push one up one of the larger hills in town.
Probably be real fast as possibly fun going down if it is stable.
Hope that single giant v-brake on that small radius rear wheel works.

I've ridden one, and I don't think it weighs nearly 50 lbs. The v-brake
works OK, but the one I worked on had the giant rear wheel hilariously out
of true when the bike was new. Another serious problem is the handlebars,
which creak and bend under normal riding conditions.

OTOH, people love this bike and it's gonna sell like hotcakes.

50 lbs! That's what my steel framed TREK weighs when loaded with water
bottles, SLA batteries and a half decent load in my panniers as I commute
back and forth to work ... but at least I have miltiple gears to ease the
load ;-)

I haven't seen one of these new Stingrays on the street ..... yet.

The "classic" looks like a Stingray. The others don't.

Put an OCC logo on a dog turd and it would sell like hotcakes.
