    Great ideea to put the kid there, my dad had the same ideea when I was a kid and I stayed 6 month in hospital with legs broken ( even was a bike crash at very low speed 10 meter away from home, he just fall over me with the heavy bike, I got external fractures at legs ) All I want to say is even some situations don't seem dangerous at all, they can turn ugly in 1 second. Ride safe !

    Hi Romy. You're right. Egg is designed for metropolitan traffic. I spent several years in London using a Brompton bike as the main mode of transport. With the ability to benefit from the bus lines and bicycle paths, I was in rush hour faster than cars and buses and freer and cheaper than the subway. Simple tubular construction, use of conventional bicycle parts and removable battery and seats as Passive Anti-theft protection will allow you to lock Egg on the street and leave it there overnight - maybe with more locks in most places :( . Thanks for your interest. Robert.

    Hi Ken. Here are some answers. There is room just for one adult inside the Egg, but it seem interesting to develop some kind of lap child seat option. I already have optional modified rear rack for child seat low above rear wheel. All top of the Egg above U bar is possible to cover with transparent plastic rain cover, which is possible attach in 1 minute and it folds up with U bar during getting in and off. Width 90 cm, height 145 cm and length 210 cm. Its mixed construction from steel and aluminum tubes and fiberglass. Weight is horrible...45kg but will be reduced by using aluminum only and simplification or exclusion of leaning mechanism.Leaning is working - but I want it stable straight and intuitive in turns... Windshield is polycarbonate. I hope you will collect funds for your project - happy you have kickstarter. Good luck and thanks for interest. Robert

    I like it. 1-How 'cheap' have you been able to keep it? 2-Any plans for commercial production, or selling in kit form? 3-I would have liked to see how the adult gets in and out of the cage. 4-I wish you had taken a video of your wife pedaling without the child on her lap so we can see the space between her knees and handlebars. and the angle of the seating position. 5-How do you adjust for different size riders/length of legs? I noticed how the u-shaped bar lifts up for rider to enter the cage, but in case of a side hit by a fast moving vehicle what about this bar breaking/ snapping and getting stuck into the rider and adding to the probably pretty horrible injury from the collision? If you could kindly give us some answers it would be great. Good job, all in all. Cheers, Iks'r

    Hi Iks'r. Egg-how I call it now, will be in commercial production as soon as possible. Price of the basic frame will hopefully be under 2000 Euro. Possible customization -rear rack child seat, rain cover, transport containers, motorization etc. will add something to the price. Seat and back support is adjustable-just forward direction, handlebars are adjustable in both-height and forward direction. Frame, including U-bar will be from alu- profiles. So in case of the side hit it will bent. Egg is designed for urban commuting- in Europe is urban traffic speed limited mostly by 50 km/h. Also pedelec moto-speed is limited by 25 km/h. So driver cage will do a lot for you in case of flip over or light crash,but forget about immortality. Thanks for interest and comments, Robert

    Hi.Thanks for interest. The steering and tilting is my own experiment - not finished yet. I am building recently upgraded version of the EGG -alloy,better ergonomic, hub motor, integrated cargo box and no tilting. Tilting is nice idea but it was shown overcomplicated=heavy, and unpractical=bad directional stability is the price to pay for intuitive mechanical tilting. May be I am wrong - I am still trying to find solution. The rear end is from the child MTB. I hope my son will forgive me... :)

    +nosuch thingasshould There are some problems with using a child as an air bag. Usually before the age of 4 they are too small, and by 9 or 10 they might be too big. So you have a fairly long term investment for only a 5 or 6 year use. This can be attenuated by adoption, however most agencies would not want to have their charges be used this way. On the plus side, younger kids can make great horns and older ones provide the power.

    Привет Сергей. Вот некоторая информация. Существует возможность только для одного взрослого внутри Egg, но это, кажется, интересно разработать какую-то опции сиденья коленях ребенка. У меня уже есть дополнительный модифицированный задний стойку для минимума детского сиденья выше заднего колеса. Бампер из ребенка - это просто шутка. В верхней части над U бар Egg можно накрыть прозрачной пластиковой крышкой, что возможно прикрепить в 1 минуту, и это складывает с U бар во время посадки и выключения. Ширина 90 см, высота 145 см и длиной 210 см. Egg смешивают конструкция из стальных и алюминиевых труб и стекловолокна. Вес является ... 45кг, но будет снижена при использовании алюминия только и упрощение или исключение наклоняясь механизма. Она работает - но я хочу Egg стабильного прямой езду и интуитивный в поворотах ... это не так просто. Переднее стекло из поликарбоната. Спасибо за интерес.
