27" tires (630) Making a Comeback and You'll Never Guess on What!
Someone on this group a while ago was looking for the widest tires
possible for a 27" rim. It turns out that 27 X 1 3/8" is the widest available (Tioga, Club Roost, Kenda, Cheng Shin to name a few). Well, to my surprise it looks like Yamaha has decided to go with this size on its newest creation, the "2006 Electro-Hybrid PAS Lithium bicycle". This is good news for anyone who owns a 27-incher and will help to create more demand (and thus ensure future availability) for this size. For a for description of this really cool ride goto: http://www.yamaha-motor.co.jp/global...s_lithium.html T.C. |

That is the ultimate nori, tulip, and bacon fetching vehicle if I ever
saw one! :-D |

It already has been. You can jest, but electro-assist bicycles are (while far from ubiquitous) reasonably succesful and serve a useful purpose. Well, in this country, at least. Regulationwise, electro-assist with a maximum of 50% of total power coming from the engine falls under bicycle rules rather than moped rules, so no helmets, no license plate, no license required. Plus, someone who can't use a bike is severely crippled here -- and an electric-assist bike is easier than a Segway, which after all requires that you stand while using it. Jasper |

They haven't integrated the 1394 port with the rest of the interface yet. When you see a small LCD touch screen on the handlebars[1], look for the 1394 port to be an option. Due to shock and vibration issues, the preferred location for mounting the iPod will continue to be on the rider instead of on the bike.

(If the Segway were just slightly more successful and ubiquitous, a measurable portion of the population would probably have seen one in person. One local business tried renting them out in an area where there was a cluster of -ique shops; it was a less than stunningly successful venture from what I heard.) -- Typoes are a feature, not a bug.

Dean Kamen, watch out... your wildly successful and currently ubiquitous Segway is about to be eclipsed! I sure hope I'm reading that correctly as sarcasm. The rumors about the Segway were that it was going to change the world, or at least change the way we commute in major cities.
