"Lol.. hard to believe it actually works."

video helps.

The bicycle version works much better than the motorcycle because it doesn't have rear suspension.

best user comment:

Hey guys, just wanted to say that the reason for the bouncing up and down is due to the change in leverage. Since one of the wheels is further back it has more mechanical advantage over the suspension due to the increased distance of the swingarm

The thing worked, right up until they did the front wheel. There's no way you can tell me that the bars have enough leverage to move that front end. Looks cool but...
