Either that, or it's down to the bike's design :) They could've improved the bike a lot by either taking an existing design. Instead of sitting like you're on a chair they should've taken the entire upright position of a normal bike, or the laid back position of a lie-down bike. Some of features look nice though: the bright LED lighting, the electronic assist, the double rear wheels... Man, that guy can’t steer straight worth his life.

Or just build a bicycle with a more comfortable seat. They should stabilize the front wheel (maybe put in 2 front wheels) and make the top removable.

I'd love to have one of these if it weren't for the inevitable ¥200,000+ price tag.

You don't need solar system and so on, a good bicycle should as light weighted as possible. Designed by engineers who never did bicycle.
