I'm curious ... have you ever actually seen one in person ? Not the
autobike, which from what I understand had parts that weren't as good as
what they are putting in the landrider.
Even if its easier to shift from one gear to another, it is still
daunting to some to know when to shift or what to shift to .. How do you
explain to a new person what is first, second .. etc on a bike with 6 on
the back and 3 on the front (18) ? That part still isnt simple.
