Looks nifty in a kind of future / tractor blend  [thumbsup]

But the specs?

496 Lbs dry, 73 foot pounds of torque and peak of 44 HP at 3500-4000 RPM.

That's pure tractor.

How much?

That and some used french fry oil and you've got a solid commute bike for $.03 a gallon.  [thumbsup]

I'd also like to know how much that thing costs.  I submitted the contact form and the Dutch should be able to speak enough English to give me an answer.

"There are two things I can't stand in this world: people that are intolerant of other people's culture, and the Dutch."

Its a little on the portly side, but it could make a good hill climber.
