Strapping a generator to a skateboard-cum-tagalong and expecting it to push you at 30mph through the seatpost? In litigation-tastic America?

The rack for your luggage is a nice touch.

Loving that exposed, petrol powered chain drive. Health and safety not gone mad! Stick a chainsaw chain on it for on move trail maintenance. 😆

Why do both these things push on the seat post? Axle mount would be much more sensible - that's how I've done it in the past. Though not with mental petrol engine.

I give it a month before someone puts a 1100cc inline 4 onto one.
