The recall.
Yup.
Something this cool couldn't be perfect this early on.
I kinda would have liked to have tried one anyways. :sssh:

How long have they been out anyway?

3rd_shift · Sep 14, 2006

Seems like they have been out for at least 5 years.
I could be mistaken.

I still remember the first recall where if the battery was low on charge; the unit may unexpectedly stop and throw the rider forward. The fix was "a software upgrade" that re-calberated (spelling?) the battery meter if I'm correct.

I think this happened back in 2003.

What the f... is the point of such a contraption :ohgeez:

That is one of the funniest things I've seen in a very long time. It looks like there are no gears, and the foot speed is pretty much equal to the speed of the treadmill bike (from what I can see, the movement of the feet in relation to the ground is the same on the TB as when walking).

I have GOT to get me one of those. Maybe I can even put some of the "bling-bling" the "ad" mentioned on it.

That is one of the cleverest pieces of nonsense I can remember seeing in quite a while. I hardly know what to say.

That must have been a project for a college class, the commentator seems to be describing its features with a little tongue-in-cheek. :laughing: :ohgeez:
