    Nice engineering. I get the ground effect and small aero footprint makes it very fast with less wind resistance. That crouch looks to be a bit uncomfortable for a long trek and lack of suspension would concern me but man what a nice ride! It looks like you got upwards of 40+ mph with great handling. Thanks for sharing this with us. Invention moves us all along at a pace that suits the soul...

      you only ride it as long as you have a hill. so there are no "long trecks" there are no pedals. this is for bombing hills.

    Ignore the unimaginative commenters, this looks like a great riding experience.
    The environment for this shoot is terrible -- all that urban traffic. If you're located in Portland, take a day (preferably sunny) and go to a nearby mountain with a decent paved road to the top and shoot your video there.
    It would be cool to have two gravity bikes in the shoot, drafting each other and going head-to-head, etc. Rider skill is a big factor on this platform, I can tell.
    The motorcycle leathers/helmet and brakes indicate you take safety seriously.

    @MrErock5353 It is a steel shell filled with solid lead. Weighs about 26lbs. The weight helps lower center of gravity and also carries your momentum through slower sections. It's also a play on what gravity folks call "bombing hills". :-) thanks for watching and commenting.

    I used to ride this hill as part of my morning work commute. I rode a Kona Kikapu Deluxe with Vredenstien Fortezza slicks, Hayes discs, and modified MTB/Road gearing . Used to scare the living daylights out of the TRiMet drivers and commuters when I'd whip past them.... :D Really way too much debris on the shoulder for safe riding. Used to pop alot of tires, LOL.

      Haeral Use the kinetic energy of going down your hill, to go back up the hill you work on or something 😉 would be a cool concept but if you were able to make it up the other hill, it would have to be a little smaller to compensate for friction and stuff. So you wouldn't have enough energy to go back up your hill.

    It says it's a GRAVITY bike people. It's self explanatory. It's really no different than a skateboard going down a big hill. It's not meant to be comfortable or practical or safe or anything but FUN and certainly not for everyone.

    • @77Avadon77
      @77Avadon77 5 років тому

      Fun but also extremely dangerous. One thing I worry about would be the speed wobbles. Anybody who's written a BMX down a steep hill knows what I'm talking about. There's not a lot of traction in such a narrow Tire. But he clearly knows some of the risks as he's wearing the right gear.

    at first I thought this was some lame shit.. until about 3mins in when I realized that XGAMES or REDBULL needs to take this, with more hill and more speed and make it a legit sport. There's no way this isn't more entertaining than any of the downhill ski events, and more likelihood of gnarly group crashes. This has lots of potential.

      This is clearly much faster than and much different from a standard bicycle. The low profile means low air resistance and the lack of gears and chains means low friction wheels. In other words, this thing a specifically designed to go downhill fast. If that doesn't sound like something you'd find fun, don't get one.

    It's simply made to downhill fast, and it's obviously faster then a road bike just by looking at the height of it. Plain and simple. Traditional bikes are made to commute, this is made to go fast with as little wind resistance as possible. Just like a trick skateboard deck and a longboard, they're made for different things. Idk why anyone would talk bad about these, and if they do they most likely just can't understand some things are made for different purposes & it's pointless to try and explain to them

    • @aiquelindo
      @aiquelindo 9 років тому +2

      Marcus_Mravik Marcus that can't be related to weight. Two objects of different masses fall on the earth gravity field at the same rate of acceleration. Basic physics. There are other factors involved there, such as friction and drag cause by air. In your case it may be that your bike has more friction losses than theirs. It's not because they are heavier than you.

      Arif Rider That is why this is a bad form of transport... You wouldnt drive a car if you had to push it up the hill, right? I do understand that its smaller than a car but if its supposed be used as transport then its kinda useless... But I guess its just a toy to have fun with.

  • @rbaleksandar
    @rbaleksandar 11 років тому +24

    Ahmmm, don't see what's the gravitiy-difference between this and the normal bike. Also there are two major flows in this design:
    1)The way you push yourself looks extremely uncomfortable.
    2)The closer you are to the ground the more difficult is for a car/lorry driver to see you thus the probability of getting ran over is greater.

    • @willscottmatt
      @willscottmatt 11 років тому +10

      yes, this design does flow very nicely

    • @donsjuand
      @donsjuand 11 років тому +5

      1)Lower center of gravity means more responsive turning
      2)Lower center of gravity means less wind resistance and more speed
      3)He can add a flag if he wants
      4)It can be fun to think differently. Always something to learn.
