Seriously kewl!
Should have called that package the Darryl.
Will there be an OCP version?!!!
/joke
And there better be no velcro…
And there better be no *hook and loop…
Would like a bare one without the add-ons. Kit it out ourselves.
A way to recharge your phone while in use would be awesome
Or make the bike into a useable generator, even if pedal-powered.
On their site you can order just the parts so you can build your own custom.
The company currently has some issues with some suppliers right now. The survival bike isn’t for sale just yet. I’m one of the kickstarter supporters and have only part of my order. They are behind on delivery to some supporters but appear to be on track. I don’t expect the Survival Bike to be actually for sale till they get the supply chain nailed down better.
Want one.
Its a great concept, but if I’m gonna really use it, I’m not gonna use United Cutlery parts. Great at doing fantasy knives and movie stuff, not great at high performance.
Dump the accessories, concentrate on the platform.
Multifuel capability would be cool. Diesel, chainsaw 2-stroke, white gas….
Multicam / Flat Dark Earth or it doesn’t happen! Nice idea and setup, multi-fuel would be cool. Molle / Pals slots on flat metal on the rear cargo shelf in conjunction with the tubular frame would be cool. small tool kit and slime tubes all around!
How much 4 The bike….? And hoy long to delivery
