I wonder how often the air filter has to be replaced. Debris from the front wheel will fly right into that air scoop.

Visually impressive, at first glance, but ultimately, not marketable enough for more production...

What they're showing us is the strictly smoothly-paved-riding-surface, street-legal, version...

The Avatar-plausible-version would have to be more of an off-road, mountain-bike, type that would have to be further-modified for jungle conditions...

...and further made suitible for ten-foot-tall, really skinny, blue-riders, in order to be marketable to the indigenous species on Pandora...
