Looks like something he put together in his shed on a boring Sunday afternoon after watching the Flintstones. ;D

60MPH sounds a little optimistic too.

I was quite intrigued.  I'm sure the video had a lot of the effort edited out. ;)

Fair play to him, I say.

IF some of the effort is "edited"out, then people will not be convinced until they see it demonstrated in the flesh,Ii wouldn't buy one without a test drive, would you?
Oh, and there is a bigger picture here too......again, IF it can reach say, 40 mph, its only marginally faster than a moped, but can carry 4 people, in a place like the Netherlands where it is quite flat, it may be really well suited!

Like the idea, it appears to "wind-up" to pull away from junctions, so appears to have some sort of inertial storage.

Good Effort. :y :y
