I felt sorry watching the puppet-like “Prince of Wheels” wobbling about on an electric bike for the first time, surrounded by photographers and journalists. Apparently he thought it’d work like a scooter, not realising he had to pedal. Oh dear. [Evening Standard]

I’d like to see some other people try it at that speed, you’ll most likely end up on your ass if you don’t put your feet down. What a poor article. Just because it has an electric powered bike, doesn’t mean this video really fits in with Gizmodo.

I’ve seen regular bike riders struggle at less than walking pace, and I doubt Chuck is a regular peddler.
