demuire Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 This is an interesting piece of machinery... AWD bike :dance: Quote
ancullen Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Curious. Suzuki or Yamaha (can't remember which) are actually releasing or have already released a two-wheel drive 2-wheel bike. I don't know if it's full-time 2WD (AWD) though. I think it's Yamaha, and it's a dirt bike, not a sports bike or even a cruiser. Quote
demuire Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 (edited) I like Akira bike :dance: "ceramic, double-rotor two-wheel drive, computer-controlled anti-lock brakes, 12,000 rpms" More info Edited May 10, 2005 by demuire Quote
Super Jamie Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 i like anime boobies :) you can get awd pushies here http://www.onlinesports.com/pages/I,top,sprt,camp,bicy.html how's your US$1500 tho :dance: Quote
demuire Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 Not quite Akira spec, but pretty friggin cool anyway :dance: Quote
demuire Posted May 10, 2005 Author Report Posted May 10, 2005 AWD pushy... That's an interesting thought. Would it even be of much benefit? I suppose for a mountain bike, if you're riding up a muddy hill or something... How on earth do those work? It looks like a driveshaft? Bizzare! Quote
ancullen Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Would be good up slippery steep hills as the extra grip would be of great benefit. I imagine going downhill would be improved as well. Quote
Super Jamie Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 it would be good for just coolness value :dance: Quote
ancullen Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Oh, the money that has been wasted by people on coolness value. Did I mention my Galant has been lowered??? :dance: Quote
irokin Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 Mum bought what you might be able to call a "awd" bike. Its basically got an electric motor in the front wheel hub to give you a bit of a boost when you need it. Apparently it goes really well (but I'm too heavy to try it...*grumble* don't ever work in a pizza store...being 6"4 doesnt help either...) Quote
Nitephyre Posted May 14, 2005 Report Posted May 14, 2005 I like boobies :) damn, i want an Akirabike :dance: Quote
