Definitely saw A Panasonic-powered electric bike at one point.

The bit I liked among the innumerable advantages was that "no insects will die" - if it is going to save the life of insects, I thought, fair enough - but she went on "rectly impact your face" or similar words.

Yes, the e-bike is a Panasonic unit powered BikeTec Flyer model, made in Switzerland.

A guy from Ireland had one of these at presteigne last year and I was intrigued I admit. Not sure about the whole shabang in wind but the screen to keep the flies out of my face.....hmmmm. tempting :)

With the sides down in heavy wind it could become a kite! I'll take my chances with the weather.

I can't make my mind up if this is intended as a joke. Is it? I really don't know.

The shield itself has very real comedy value and the narrator builds on that with, amongst other things, the insect on face comment.

Perhaps the sequel will be a clip of someone riding along a busy high street in a 30 knot cross wind.

No, it's definitely a joke then. Hideous looking contraption, stops flys splattering on the face, costs €299. All the elements of a good joke are there.

I must say, they have gone to a lot of trouble making that video just to give us a giggle. A very generous gesture.
