Maybe this means we will see the Tesseract soon

A ready to ride weight of 152kg would be extremely impressive. Looks small though, and pretty cramped for the rider. There again, I guess it wasn't designed for inter-continental tours!

Find the designer and put him on the Tmax update. Immediately.

Clearly knows how to make things light.

Hmm, next-gen TMax at 180 kilos with ten extra ponies and a twin front end for added grip and handling...?

Spiderbait put it best

Been looking at the website on this. It generally looks nice, though 11bhp won't pull up many trees, but it really is tiny. - I guess thats why it only weights 152kg fully fuelled! Whilst its obviously not a feet forward scooter, some of the models in the photos seem unable to get their feet in the footboards properly, and some have adopted a feet-rearward riding position! Underseat compartment looks big enough for a full face helmet, though its hard to tell from the photo whether its a full face or open face in there.

i thing i would rather wait for this, but i think i will be 6 foot under first god knows where i will put the missus

Stick an office chair between the front wheels, she'll be fine.

Weight is a bit of a bugger with a scooter body, they are always going to be heavier than a bike.

've seen one!

I am currently in the Netherlands on business and we were sat on a coach in traffic this afternoon near Utrecht when one went past. I couldn't believe it but I was convinced that this is what it was. Then my hosts confirmed that the green number plate it carried meant it was on the equivalent of trade plates so now I am sure.

It looked quite smart, smaller then the mp3 and certainly better looking. Traffic was very slow, so no idea on how well it would cope in fast moving stuff on the motorway.
