Don’t think that actually qualifies as a bike, but as a backpack scooter. Withholding full judgement, until I see it in person, but I think you could really biff it hard on a scooter/bike without a rear suspension and that small wheel. However, it looks like a blast to carve trails with on a ski resort, just stay away from the moguls and jumps

Why does the monk look like George Lucas?
Having watched that video a few times now, there are lots of questions and it reminded me of [that bit on SNL](http://blog.nbc.com/fred/2009/01/ben_affleck_david_cook_1.php) about Germans and their obsession with winter jackets. Like, look my jacket is a backpack and a bike!
Erm, the video caption says it does have rear suspension. I love how they show them hiking in unrideable terrain, yet there’s nice trail or dirt road to descend -why not just ride up?
Neat engineering/design but seems limited to a very specific set of circumstances.
It has a hinged rear with what looks like a rear bumper, rollover the hinge [on this page](http://www.bergmoench.com/technik.php). I do appreciate the industrial design, but at a loss at to why it wouldn’t have pedals and drivetrain.
Thanks for letting us know about this. I was having writer’s block, and you helped me identify the latest [url=“http://austinbikeblog.org/2009/01/16/dumbest-product-of-the-week-blasphemy-edition/” rel=“nofollow”]Dumbest Product of the Week.

You mean, like how after about 10 minutes, kneeling on a bike is going to get uncomfortable?
