Its good for about 25 mph in a straight line without anything scraping and has about a 100' turning circle. Think of the absolute opposite of the movie light cycle and thats what you have.  :lol

The riding position is prone, facing forward on your stomach, pretty much like the way the ride Skeleton in the olympics.

I suspect its more of a +really+ expensive game room decoration than an actual riders bike.

But damn, one hell of a gameroom decoration!

Those Parker Bros Choppers are really cool.

That Green Machine is much cooler than the one my friend had when we were kids.

Here it is inchworming and klanking down the highway with the gas engine. Doesn't sound so cool when Daft Punk isn't making the engine sounds.  ;)

Yikes, what are they powering it with?  A poorly-tuned 50cc moped engine?  Still looks cool.

"It is powered by a fuel-injected Suzuki 996cc, 4-stroke engine."

Because of the lame sound, I'd rather have the electric version.
(even if it only had enough range to make it accross town and back)

It's cool and all but it looks like it is very uncomfortable to ride with your hands so far apart.

It should've been electric, because that would've been way coooler. Modern, yo. But really it's a kind of joke. You might as well foot pedal.

Parker Brothers, huh? I'm surprised legal action hasn't occured yet.
