Walking Bicycle Club

Cast your mind back to the once popular stepping machine, ideal if you live in a bungalow....
A Japanese engineer has designed a tricycle ridden standing up, with normal handlebars, and propelled by two plates on which one puts each foot and then step up and down, thus propelling at a reasonable speed up to 24kph. Up a gradient, the battery motor gives assistance. In a range of colours, but about £2k - for the affluent methinks.

Re: Walking Bicycle Club

What´s the advantage over a conventional (and cheaper) bike? Still gives a good work-out if used regularly, and one fewer wheels...

Re: Walking Bicycle Club

Re: Walking Bicycle Club

Really a stable powered walking frame for those who may have difficulty walking, either through age or accidents. Or those who like speeding!
