Hi Dirk,
The baby in the Pythoon is ready to ride already? Indeed, the donor bike was
for 5-7 years old. However, in python form it's stretched out to 45" wheel
base
(143cm). The Xseam is small size ~37" (94cm) to fit my kids, with another 2-3"
(5-7cm) to stretch before the seat rubs the rear wheel, but I can ride it as
is.
The donor has girlie decorations ("Electric Stardom", "Sassy & Sweet"), so not
sure how the boys will handle it. I am hoping to train a few small pythonauts
with it, and myself when no one is around :) (note no video of me riding it on
youtube...)
Vi

In response to the Knirps being canabilized, I built this baby python
today, in ~6hrs, 16in, 62deg pivot, 20lbs, not great control, but
ridable and very pushable. The compactness is not bad when the front
wheel folds 180deg, to fit in the trunk.
