I’ve watched the video and read the article a couple of times, and I can’t see how it actually delivers drive to the rear wheel. Anyone?

Hubless motorcycle.

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the Slegoon. Desperately cool looking sledge that’s actually a whole host safer than that thing your dad knocked up out of an old drawer and some curtain track one snowy Saturday in the mid-seventies.

Doug and I have been muttering for some time about Amazon’s new approach. It seems to make a lot of sense that “user’s search on price, we’re never going to be the cheapest, so let’s take a cut of everything and host other shops”.

Recently I’ve found it impossible to filter out the third party crap that’s filling up Amazon’s ‘shelves’, and have a had a number of unpleasant (and unfulfilled) shopping experiences.
