I bet the exhaust reverberates off that number plate! :D I like it though. Okay i'd put side plates on it and put the number plate back where it should be. but not much else! It's a :thumbup: from me! :shock:

I'd like to see what it looks like with a normal sized human on-board. The ergo's look terrible.

Quite a nice job, apart from the plate and the wheel colour is a crime against good taste. Anyone know what those rear shocks are?

I actually like the seat.

The shocks were custom-built to Unikat’s spec by Bitubo.

I'm just glad that off-centre number plates make other people's teeth itch as well, thought I was the only one.
