Spain - bicycle/motorcycle hybrid - 100cc
This curious little mischief-maker is listed as a “concept” bike on the Derbi website - not sure why when it seems the design & construction are already complete and by and large relatively straight forward. Mountain bike + engine = DH2. It doesn’t get simpler than this and at a proclaimed 88lbs no lighter either. This thing should really shift! However, unless they are aiming at the non-motorcylist market they should bring out a manual version - in it’s current state it’s a bit of a manly virgin - and no gearhead worth his salt is likely to partake. There are some stellar 100cc manual-tranny engines around, most notably the honda CRF, that could turn this thing into a serious cross-country maniac and get 130mpg. This has all the makings of a genuine BRAT, let’s hope Derbi get the finger out.
