That Luke is a wild and crazy guy, OK.  Never challenge him to a race.  You will loose. :D

People like Luke (and yourself Doc) got me into the whole idea of owning an electric bike in the first place (I lurk on Endless Sphere a fair bit)
I'm really chuffed to see his creations doing so well.

Now I understand the name "Death Bike 7.0" much better...  :-)  That was crazy!

Very impressive but by what definition is that a bicycle. If you can't pedal it it is no longer a bicycle, its a motorbike.

Are there any bicycle parts left on it?

You can see the pedals on it in the video.   Probably not going to pedal far, but it appears as though they work.

Not only does it have pedals, but it is a tandem!
