El Dookey loves to ride.
Took my bike in for a warranty problem (clock not working) and it was supposed to be a quick fix and I had some errands to run, so I asked for something to test drive to my errands.
They had an X-Moto on the floor and since I am 6'3" and my feet could touch the ground (it is a tall bike) I asked to take it for a spin. It was interesting, but not to my liking. I really felt that I was sitting ON the bike, not IN the bike like when I am on the Rockster. I felt disconnected from it if you know what I mean.
Speaking of sitting - ouch - the seat busted my butt for sure. (It is worth noting that I ride on a stock seat and have for 28k, so it is not like I am used to some uber luxury seat-wise.) I probably put on 40-50 miles or so, but I was happy to get off that saddle.
All in all, the bike is cool looking and kind of a fun ride, but I prolly would not buy one anytime soon. There was plenty of power to be had and the view was great (the seat is something like 35 inches or more in the air.) It would be good as an urban street warrior - real narrow so you could split lanes and all.
Anyone else ridden one of these?
