Found this. If my conversion rates are right, it's about $1500US and 80 pound 70cc. I think it's a chinese production that is distributed by a BSEcanada.

Very nice, I need to switch out the clipless pedals on my Jamis Nova. I've got some meaty 35's on there now I'm dying to try in the snow.

Just put one of these in your pedal bike.

I have wanted to do one for a few years just never have......maybe this year........maybe not.

Note that the Scorpa has pedals for footpegs--"honest, officer, it's a bicycle!"

I found a web site with ads for the BSE and the prices for 'em were $1600-1700. That's pretty cheap entertainment. If they really are quiet imagine strafing the mountain bike trails down in the forest with it. Whoo-hoo!!!

If you bought a mountain bike tag what would they bust you for? Illegally using a motor vehicle on a trail? Probably. But you'd have a million bucks worth of fun in the process and since they look like a bicycle I'd venture to bet no one would notice until you went buzzing by.

Somebody figure out the best price and let's do a group buy. I'll gamble on it...

EDIT: The most recent information/ads I can find on-line date to 2010. Could there be a reason for this? Maybe they break in two pretty quickly?

The Youtube vids I did find of a trials rider playing on one made them look like a lot of fun.

would define that as a motor vehicle as its self propelled

I need to break down and get some studs for my tires. That is a pig to wrestle around but not wanting to hurt the 4fiddy since I have a deposit on it.

I managed to sneak out for a bit again yesterday for a ride to the shop and back. Of course, I got detoured by a trail or two along the way
