Alienware bike

I like the neon spokes; but everything else about this design can get fucked. Man, that doesn't even look comfortable to ride; like sure, let's straddle a prism ig 😂

Imagine doing a bmx trick on this and impaling yourself via the gooch.

I'd have to just lay down and bleed out, like. The shame would be too much for me to call an ambulance. That'd be my ass right there.

and honestly, you'd deserve it, for having bought this abomination in the first place thinking you could do sweet bmx tricks with it

You like it now, but not when you're being flayed by one of those flaying thingies what flays you

don't threaten me with an even nuder time

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

I wanna ride it around and pretend I'm in Tron

love these newer e-bikes where the pedals are truly vestigial, a fig leaf obscuring that they're just lightweight electric motorcycles

The DUI-mobiles

[–] gramxi@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

the pedals are completely vestigial on these non-adjustable flat saddle e-mopeds

What if cool, good, and useful machine that makes traveling easier and is lower impact exercise than walking... but now it's weighed down with greebles and probably more waste in its production and use? so-true

Dig the glowing spokes but this is somebody bolting cranks to a motorcross bike so I don't consider it a bicycle

[–] ImmortanStalin@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 10 months ago

I remember drawing motorcycles like this when I was 8 years old.

This is the opposite of ergonomic, but even so I want it.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

can you pop a wheelie with this? can you give it so much throttle that it flips over?

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

What would be the point of a motorbike if it couldn't do that?

I’m sorry, but you’re not allowed to dislike this. Under the urban umbrella and it has my protection. You must appreciate it
