    This is in the humor section, right? The last thing fat Americans need is another excuse NOT to walk.

    So the bike looks kind of cool, what happened to the car?

    Rolls down the hill, Kanardly hike up the other hill
    May all your hikes have clear skies, fair winds and no rocks under your pad.

    Aw, c'mon, Tipi - think how how much MORE you could carry and FARTHER out you could travel to get away from the herd.

    Plus, you could run over a LOT of those fat American day trudgers 100 meters from the parking lot.

    I put it in the gear section simply because I didn't think of the humor section. Rats.

    it does look really fun. And I like you can carry/lift it.

    But I was expecting it to be packed as well.

    looks like he didn't deflate the tires, if so, then yeah, he could backpack it up...definitely has an application, would bet the military has a few a dees floatin around or cashed somewhere.

    Really? There is no power to it. It could barely make it up that small hill. I thought he was going to have to get off the bike and drag it to the top. Neat idea if it had more power.

    Its copy of a Rokon Trailbreaker, made in New Hampshire. Rokon uses steel wheels but still floats plus its 2 wheel drive. They also offer the option to fill the tires with gas to extend the range.

    ya know, I think I may have seen one of these a few years ago on one of the pawn star episodes, or one of the fix-it shows, I seem to remember they only made a certain amount like 700 er somthing, then again my Recall has been off a little lately, So...


    Woah, $7 grand, that's to much for this kid.
