The way you sit does sorta remind me of a penny farthing, which were notorious for “taking a header”.
I recon I'd still give it a go though.

I like that, I'd rather it come with a hi-vis jacket though and increase the range by ditching the lights..
Theres's also room for a solar panel or two on there to help it recharge..
Bike somewhere, let it charge while you picnic, ride back..
What about LCD display showing range/charge?

Saw this on the Gadget show the other day, but it looks more like a novelty than something that will take off. The rider looks quite exposed with nothing to hold on to in front of them, and is seated similar to someone riding on the handlebars of a regular bike.

Also it's regressive, the last thing people of the UK need is a bike that's as bad for you as driving everywhere…
