Is that what they call a stealth bike?

Definately give him a wide berth pulling away from the lights.......

Hilarious!

However not practical and lethall/very dangerous if used in real life environments.

Great for speed on the flat, but useless on real hill climbing.

Ah..yes..that is where he needs a varible pitch propellor.....tic....

Yes, but even that wouldn't do much on a 1 in 5! Cowling the prop in a tunnel as well could help a little.

I was thinking of the same exact idea recently. A mesh guard like on a desk fan will improve safety!

I dunno...a small version of a DeHavilland Hydromatic, and he may be able to fly up those hills.....

It needs a lot of drive power though, I can't see it as practical for climb ability with a tolerable size electric motor. It would be very wasteful of energy compared to mechanically driving a wheel.

tic? I guessed a joke element from the smiley, but I'm not familiar with that expression.

Thanks smudger, hadn't seen that abbreviation online before.
