Hehe! Except if it unexpectedly switched at 40mph! Cool idea though...from cruiser to sportbike in 2 seconds! Interesting center frame pivot and extendable head stock. Now if they could put a 150 bhp engine in one, I'd be much more interested!

My friend, who works at the Google headquarters in California, has a commuter bicycle that folds up to the size of a brief case! Aluminum frame with gears and everything! It's pretty slick.

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers,

Craig, Have you details of your friend's bike?

These kits look interesting for those of use in a winter climate...

On the pictures page there is a video of it being used on a ski hill -- looks like lots of fun!

That bike seems really pointless to me! Both positions look pretty poor to me.

Love that KtraK bike Ross!! Could have used that kit here in Colorado all last week!
