Incredibly Smart Thread Wherein nobody questions anything about this awesome 6K bike

Well okay, maybe I could quibble with it being a triple.

Hanebrink X1

[DOOFUS]

ain't nobody got....

[Bobonli]

X1 thru X3 look like go-cart kits. X5 looks badass and it goes "upwards of eighty miles an hour."
Maybe they shouldn't have put that in the description.

I'd rather buy a Serotta.

[sam]

Please someone tell me they have one of these, so I can come over and punch you in the nutz.. that being said I will take it for a ride and probably have fun, but call it all sorts of names when im done.

Man, if I was 12 years younger and 8 beers drunker I could have some fun with that whip.

[Dorman]

I'm gonna get one for Boo (the new cat). Might keep him from chewing on the damn tree lights.

[CWinters]

Fat tires, no TCO, and bargain pricing - what's not to like.
But I will hold out for the Ti Rohloff belt drive version.

I briefly rode a Hanebrink monster bike in the 90's. It looked something like the X1. It was actually pretty fun to ride-I'm sure it would be great on snow or soft sand.

The original Fatbikes. If you lived on a beach, they'd be perfect.

Maybe it shouldn't have a rear derailleur ??? wtf!

[lemonlaug]

holy shinola I didn't even see that the X5 has a derailleur! I did think that it was weird for an electric ?motorcycle? to have 14 speeds since typically electric motors have enough torque that 1 will do. It is sold as a bicycle (e.g. no license required) and apparently has pedals that hide somewhere most of the time but can be used in the event of an emergency. Also I guess you're supposed to use your planet bike blinky cause it's got no lights or signals. Bizarro.

Somewhere, somebody is itching to make a comment regarding chainstay length.....but they don't dare.

I always like my brake levers to extend past the end of the grip (on the X5).
