  Hi People,
  
  Im a Local student from a local art college, and im currently working on my CHOPPER bicycle frame design, which is essentially a ' Harley Davidson' version of a bicycle, I need your help,. in telling me, what will you all look for in such a product, if you all were going to buy one...
  
  E.G
  
  1. Graphics...Whats the latest trend in graphics you all like? Tribal? Fire? Others?
  
  2. Frame design, what type of patterns would you all like? You all can just list some words which give u a picture of an ideal design, it would be of great help to me ....
  
  3. Prize? whats the budget you all would stick too?
  
  4. Choppers were inspired by Harleys, what other vehicles inspire you all?
  
  5. Any other help...
  
  Thanks for you help. its would be be very helpfull.
  
  Heres a pic of a Chopper......

  nah, consumers in singapore being asian are afraid to try on something new..
  i don't think it will be much of a success..
  
  the design is too radical..
  can it climb hills like a mountain bike?

  A recumbrant is very very different from a 'chopper'.

  In the first place, it was not meant to go off-road. This type of bikes are for relaxing, cruising on beach purpose.

  lets be honest. if u look the training wheels of, u're likely to fall off, because it's hard to pedal n keep balance in that position. harleys are different because u dun have to move yr body much as propulsion is achieved thru an internal combustion engine.

  Looks impossible to keep balance without training wheels... Have you done any calculations at all for balance and stuffs? Or is it just a design made for fun with no practical use?

  using small gears would do the trick
