Hi Mackx

I've been using my Iliad for almost 3 years now and I love it dearly. I think it's a beautifully designed product - I like the rubberised body, slightly odd shape, the works.
The problem is that the guys went ahead and designed a space ship when most of the times I really just need a push bike.
KISS principle doesn't cover design only, but functionality and usability.
Anyway, I am saddened to see that new Irex models have not improved on the basic functionality lacking in previous models. Otherwise I would gladly upgrade to DR1000 in a heartbeat.
