Chainless INgSOC hybrid bike is out of this world

Finally, proof that we're not alone - where else could the design of this INgSOC <a title="Inhabitat: INgSOC hybrid bike" href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=hybrid+bike" target="_blank">hybrid bike</a> come from but an advanced alien species? The INgSOC combines the aerodynamic shape of a triathlon <a title="Inhabitat: bike" href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=bike" target="_blank">bike</a> with flexible handling and <a title="Inhabitat: hybrid technology" href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=hybrid+technology" target="_blank">hybrid tech</a> to create a wild-looking chainless bike that runs in three modes: battery-powered, battery assist, and battery charge mode, where the user powers up the battery by pedaling.

Allegedly the bike was designed by <a title="Edward Kim and Benny Cemoli" href="http://exquisite-thesis.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Edward Kim and Benny Cemoli</a>, but we're not entirely convinced.

The INgSOC's frame is constructed from <a title="Inhabitat: carbon fiber" href="http://inhabitat.com/index.php?s=carbon+fiber" target="_blank">carbon fiber</a>-reinforced polymer (also widely accepted to be of extraterrestrial origin).

A battery powers the motor as well as a headlight and rear tail lights, plus an iPhone charging dock for, you know, phoning home.

What do you think of the INgSOC?
