New BMW concept car and electric bike:

BMW Unveils Updated i3 and New i Pedelec Electric Bicycle in London | Inhabitat - Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building

I love the look and design concept of the bike but I'm pretty sure the price will be well beyond what I consider reasonable for a bike. Still, no harm in looking...

Look's more like a pair of scissors then an e bike...Have a look at specialised turbo thread (my bikes big daddy) now that's a proper bike. Why do these nobs have to try and reinvent what is perfect......

But do they ever intend to try and sell these bikes or is it 'Just a publicity stunt?'

A fine futuristic design, let down by the use of those old-fashioned round wheels. Isn't it time we moved on from "round". Someone please invent a better shaped wheel...

A 50p piece shape? It would ideally match the comfort of that bike's design...

I had a car many decades ago with a square steering wheel. Who remembers the Austin Allegro Super Sport (what an oxymoron!)?

Triangular wheels with the axles running within a troichoidal bearing.

Mark 3 Cortina (coke bottle) had an almost square steering wheel too, plus square blocked upholstery.

Is it something I said?

I think the polite word is dilettante...........

It might be polite ... but what does it mean?
