    Thought it was going to be another one of those 'Look at this mad cow' type vids. Very good; must be powered though judging by the speed and her apparent lack of effort. A dandy bit of kit though. :)

    i think it's disgusting


    She's putting those small children in HUGE amounts of danger





    She should get a massive 4x4 and make sure they're safe. :P

    If you look at the perspective at about 11s it looks to be a downhill run. However itis difficult to assess whether this is actually the case.

    Then I looked at the link on the video.....

    Having seen the detailed image on the site, the motor becomes obvious on the video...

    I've been considering adding an Xtracycle kit to my old Rockhopper. They're pretty cool.

    Very observant Cunobelin, I hadn't noticed that a motor was strapped on the bike, I thought she was just very fit.... not in a yummy mummy sort of way!!!

    Nice bike

    Where would the other 2 kids sit? :shock:

    Is that a normal bike frame that's been extended to be a cargo bike? It looks like she's added some kind of trailer frame to the back.

    I'm sure I could do 1 dad, 2 kids and 4 bags of groceries a lot better on this:

    Having ridden one @ Dulwich Park I got 2 kids in there easily and had room at the front of the large box for luggage/shopping etc. You'd also still have the option of panniers at the rear. All I can say is that it was a right hoot to ride, much more fun then I initially thought it would be and very easy to maneuver thanks to a nifty car like rack and pinion steering that means the front box remains static and just the wheels pivot :-)

    The one in the pic above looks like a good idea but I'd much rather have the 3 wheel stability if loading my kids and shopping on a bike.
    Who's the daddy?
