@-WhizzBang- Год назад

My question is WHY didn't he have the actual bike there to demonstrate it? If you are asking for a 1.25 Million dollar investment in an invention , you should at the very least, have that invention there physically so they can see it work!

@MADMAX7330 3 года назад

The one time the Dragons invest some real dough, its on a complete fad of product that everyone knows is not going mainstream. The world tomorrow isn't suddenly going to cough up $5k on a single person 15mph electric uni-cycle that you look ridiculous on.

@billyjesus5442 2 года назад

first thing i thought when i saw it was how shitty it looked to ride lol.

@12345ngb Год назад

I can't believe that the dragons coughed up so much cash for a fad. There are so many pitchers asking for amounts below 100k and the dragons refuse

@redacted7634 Год назад

Lol not you are living in a world where people pay upwards of 5 grand for an electric bicycle! Stupid people will spend stupid many on anything! Its all about marketing! It may not work in the uk or us but places like japan and china will eat this shit up!

@andrewvelonis5940 Год назад

@derick3482 Год назад

dragons are a bunch of has beens they easily get excited thinking the idea or product is a "cool" product i can mention a number of stupid deals they have made here remember the nerd who wanted to make a movie about him and a date with hugh hefner? they gave him not $10k but $50k they were fighting over the stupidest movie made on earth didn't make any profit it wasn't funny they're really nuts

Frankly, it is one of those inventions that proves the old adage Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. I would not want to be a guinea pig for this in downtown traffic, and even less on the highway at rush hour. What is wrong with a regular 2 wheel bike? :-)

I would rather use a bicycle over this. This is crazy!!! You can be very smart but need some common sense. The persons positioning, speed, balance, control, and what if you have an accident in this position, you gonna fly like a rocket and crack your head. 😂😂😂 Stupid founder and ignorant dragons. I won't use this even if they offer me it for free.

@rtususian 2 года назад

I think electric bicycles are a much better improvement over this.

@chrisogrady28 2 года назад

Modern Electric unicycles are actually amazing, and have many advantages over electric bicycles. They are very fast, top speeds of 70kph, able to get there in about 5 seconds, very stable and intuitive to control, and extremely compact unlike a bike, uou can stand or sit, have both your hands free, genuinly think they are the future of personal transport.

@pintofamilyutube 2 года назад

I didn't find much info on this bike. He came up with the concept in 2008 from what I gather on the internet. Does anyone know what happened? It was really impressive getting all dragons on board.

@user-km4ys1js1t Год назад

I forgot the source, but when he said he invented it, what he did was utilize alot of pre-existing technologies and code and Frankenstein it to that contraption. So if they were to move forward with mass manufacturing it, they would have had to pay for more royalties than it was wortg
