I know this is usually Weeksy's job, but I couldn't wait to see the comments about the seat :)

No matter how good and clever the bike is, that seat will always be it's downfall, hideous.

While we're picking on the seat, it's angled down at the back even on the stand, so when the bike is on the ground it'll be more so. Won't be fun to ride, you'll keep sliding back.

I think even a black hole would reject that……

The whole thing is awful, unless the guy has some sort of medical reason for needing to nestle his junk like that.
