joystick bike - an EV recumbent w. up/down steering

[made_in_the_alps_legacy]

The vid' is in french - it's powered by a 500W rear hub @ 72V
The steering is on ONE handle to be moved upside/down and makes the front Wheel turn (he patented it <= no comment)

Wow, what an agile build. It must be really fun to ride!

Are those training wheels or a wheeled bicycle stand? :?

Looks like a wheeled stand

I like this build. Looks amazing and I bet it handles really well. Looks like the joystick goes left/right rather than up/down though.

the "joystick" is articulated and follows a circular path on the vertical plane :

...not sure we could say it moves "left/right" rather than "up/down" ...and not sure if it was worth a patent, but oh well...
