The Picycle Bike Frowns In The Face Of Bike Thieves

Isn’t this just the most cheery bike you’ve ever clapped eyes on? Even if technically-speaking that red frame is actually the shape of a frown. Nonetheless! The electric PiCycle has an inbuilt theft-recovery service, updating its location on your smartphone.

Along with that “Find My iPhone”-style recovery service for locating the PiCycle if nasty thieves intervene on your jolly cycling time, it also streams charging status plus other crucial stats on your bike’s health wirelessly to your smartphone.

It’s on sale for $US2500 now. [PiCycle via Inhabitat]

    Hi all,
    My Name is John Layton and I live near Perth in Western Australia. In July last year i paid PiMobility $5874.32 for a top of the range Picycle with accessories and delivery. Guess what…it never came. I have tried over and over to get my refund from Marcus (director) with many hollow and unkept promises as a reply. They have broken the law in my eyes and I believe in California they have too.
    I am aware of more than 4 others at this stage who have also paid and not received their product.
    For me in Australia it will be difficult to fight in the courts but I will get my money back. Believe me.
    WARNING to any potential customers. PiMobility are not to be trusted or paid until you have your product.
    I have today commenced a campaign to go viral with this info to save others.
    Please help me if you can. Distance yourself from these crooks.
