I want one. Hitting a pothole while going down a steep hill poses a problem.

yeah, especially if the pothole then starts apologizing to you in a Southern accent . . .

I love how the commercial trys to say that because it can't be parted there's nothing to steal. The thing weighs 10kg which means you can walk away with it when someone isn't paying attention. Also I seriously doubt that the Yikebike would be an effective vehicle for the tracking and eventual rekilling of zombies.

I genuinely like it, new spin on the penny farthing bike :) Falling on this is similar to falling off of a unicycle, you just put your feet down.

a couple of times in the vids the rider had that "I'm in a video hold it together" look. or the oh sh!t face. looks fun but maneuverability and balance at low speed is scary.
no i don't ride a scooter, i am a scooter pilot!
