When someone starts the pitch with:
"100% secure, risk free"
*It's a SCAM*
Maestro seems legit to me... I’m in. 👍
Every business venture has risk. It's stupid or dishonest to say otherwise.
It's not a scam, he's just stupid.
Yeah, nothing is risk free. Ya never know for sure until it all plays out.
The risk is 100% for free.
“I’m a mechanical engineer by trade...”
“100% efficiency”
Press X for doubt.
XXXXXXX
I'm from future, and he is not billionaire yet
I’m a mechanical engineer and soon as he said 80-100% efficiency I called bullshit lol
Exactly 😂
Physics is just a suggestion
This guy is the definition of
*just trust me bro*

Ahhh, so this is what happens when those scam E-mails become an actual person.
Good one!
Yep
@VeryPidgeon So you say he's like an onion and if we remove enough layers, we will find hints on, how to return the nigerian prince from ISS😂😂
We must return this Nigerian prince to his throne by matching his government money!
lol
This man is like the Chinese amazon item descriptions.
I would like but it’s at 420
I made this comment 666 likes
You mean Wish?
hahahahahah
Mason Hadley hahahahahahahha
If he really believes his bicycle is 100% efficient then he has just proved that he is no mechanical engineer.
wetwingnut yeah that’s so true hahah, it’s impossible
I think he actually said 100% MORE efficient compared to a standard bicycle design, but his sentences got jumbled.
nippoland ohhh thst would make more sense
@@nippoland didn't he say 80-something percent efficient for a normal bike? 100% more would be double which still doesn't work out. Sounds like he is just talking out of his ass. Let alone him saying "risk free" and the ridiculous returns.
@@chadii195 100% more wouldn't make more sense. It would actually be even worse :D
"More efficient" and "better exercise"
That's not how that works...
don't forget it's turbo charged
Hmm if I turbo charge then I go faster. If I go faster then I lose more weight!
@@BeczaBot yea because youre going so fast your blood pressure is high from trying to dodge everything and everyone 😂😂😂😂
Bodybuilding as well, stop being so negative 😂
@@ronanbudiyono2117 looool
Your telling me you can’t have a turbo charger in the Tour de France? I can’t believe this
Lol🤣
Turbo charger makes you work harder more efficient body building 100% risk free.
He would be better off inventing a cycle porta potty for the race
Not forgetting him being the only one in the entire tour, with that style of pedals.
due him not selling it till after the tour. to prevent competition from having a even playing field
im 99% sure they will break when you go uphill, as it requires torque/grip which that bike does not have. due the strange push/pull conversion to rotational force.
@@timtim2856 😂😂
first guy to put a engine on a bicycle must been like: Imma call this a motocycle, this is going to win the Tour of France
Well if he had a big enough gas tank he wouldn't be wrong. Although I don't think the "win" would count.
The Tour of France
Actually I think that is what happened. But they used them as support bikes. Don't quote me on it, but it sounds vaguely familiar.
@@Parents_of_Twins you really have nothing important going on huh?
@@MsNoPixel Says the person who took the time to both read and respond to my facetious comment. It appears you are the pot calling the kettle black.
He did the scammer quote: "Let me finish."
He has script memorized and apparently they're hindering.
"I also have to mention" sounds like a man with a script, as well.
Argumemnon don't they all have to memorise a script?... I'm sure they're not all winging it 😂
Icydsting the dragons don't have a script. People should know their numbers without study.
@@icydsting6037 there's a difference between having a script memorized and being completely unable to go off the script
S B there's quite a few on these shows that can't answer something that is not on their script, so if you guys are correct then I'm guessing there are tons of scammers on these shows....
If this engineer was one of my employees and I saw this, I would call into question every calculation he's done for me.
Not very macho man of you
“This bike goes faster with less effort... and provides better exercise and body building benefits”
“Enhanced safety... and it has a turbo charger, it will be the fastest street bike in the neighborhood”.
Am I the only one hearing this?!
And for a limited time you can buy the Burger extension that feeds you Big Macs that increase your muscle growth by 1000%
Pretty legit pitch, think he deserves double the investment tbh. It’s risk free lol
Too many big gaps. I didn't read all of your post.
Ye lol its like every next sentence goes in contradiction with everything he said previously
Not only that, it shines your shoes, waxes your car, and pays for your kids college, without waste or extra cost
Mr. Wonderful would have verbally kicked his a$$ out of the tank within 45 seconds.

Mr. Wonderful would have given him a loan with compound interest to fuck his life.
@@lovesandwich8783 royalty master
Lmao
Any idiot can win the Tour de France if their bike has a frigging turbocharger on it.
😂😂
Dumbest comment I've read in a very long time
@@evilpimp2475 :(
Also what the hell does he mean with turbo charger? Doesn't a turbo charger work by compressing air into a *combustion engine*? Lol
Yep
I wish i believed in myself as much as he believes in his company.
You CAN.
Just fully embrace magical thinking,and stop letting that pesky reality get you down.
Lmaoo mood
"enhanced comfort, safety."
"It also has a turbocharger.."
I imagine little Johnny hits the turbocharger, flys into oncoming traffic and gets splattered by a semi.
That was fun to imagine. Thanks
Nah dawg, shits risk free
Man, you guys are super polite over in Australia. If this guy was on the Dragons Den, the British version of the show, he would've been absolutely torn to pieces.
Doctor Dankeston even just the American version lol Mark Cuban would be roasting his ass for Christmas dinner
i just started watching that show 3 days ago and i was thinking the same thing lmaooo
Doctor Dankeston coming from the dragon's den too I was really concern for this guy's life. aussies are a delight
Dragons Den is Canadian?
@@MultiversX Shark Tank/Dragons Den is an international brand, with around 40 shows in 40 different countries with those names.
If this was in America, he wouldn't last 1 second and all the sharks would be on the floor dying with laughter.
It would have happened when he said "risk-free."
😂
Mark Cuban would have been out Mr wonderful would it tell him to take it behind the barn and shoot it
They throw red meat to the US sharks too but AU version of the show feels more nutty.

So glad to see a Jenny comment here!
This guy thinks he’s coming for a bank loan 😂
Technically Shark Tank is a loaning company
Its not a loan if you can loose what u invest or make more from it
dolfijn 94 ummm no that’s exactly what a business loan is idiot. You start a business and you can take a loan out from your bank and if your business doesn’t go bankrupt you payback more than what they have and if you do go bankrupt they lose money. That’s literally how a loan works. It’s a risk. It’s just here the way to pay back is with shares of the company instead of money.
@@bulldozer8950 no because even if you do go bankrupt, you have to repay the loan unless it's filed under the business if it's a plc or ltd. Investing is not a loan.
Freshtaa R I’m out 5 billions $ is too much for mi to handle for that reason I’m out
UPDATE: The sharks messed up BIG on this one. In the 6 years since this aired, Troppo Bicycle has gone on to generate over $14 TRILLION in profits and Richard himself has won the Tour de France a record-breaking 78 times. Incredible.
Living the dream riding on the beaches 😊
The sarcasm is strong in this, love it
I almost believed you, when i saw the trillion i got the sarcasm
Risk free!
Wow thank you for sharing this update. This man is truely a legend living among us
"The bicycle has not changed for 200 years"
LMAO what? Bicycles have changed a lot in the last 40 years. 100 years ago was around when the first single gear safety bikes were invented. 200 years ago was like... when the safety bike-like velocipede was invented, with no pedals.
Mechanical engineer saying his bike has 100% efficiency? What a load of crap. He isnt fit to teach 5th grade science if he thinks his (or any) real life mechanical machine can ever be 100% efficient.
I cringed a bit when I heard that too
You may want to look into the coefficient of performance of a very large heat exchanger area air conditioning system in certain conditions..
Yea that was bollocks
Made of steel frame ass. It would be carbon fiber at the very least to get near that efficiency
@@N4CR yeah thats not mechanical.
An electrical heater is also always 100% efficient

@Selim Mašić wow you sound like you’re fun at parties
@Selim Mašić If that's how you respond to a simple harmless comment, then I guess you were used to social distancing at these "parties" long before this pandemic began.
Even ignoring the motorcycle, it's still not true. While the first thing that could be considered a bicycle was the "Draisine" or "Laufmaschine" invented in 1817 by Baron Karl von Drais, the modern bicycle is far more closely related to the "safety bicycle" which was invented in the 1880s.
The producer has cherry-picked this guy. No question about that.
Duh, it’s a show, they accept people on to said show, they don’t want to waste their time with broken projects, or projects that don’t do anything, so of course they cherry pick
@@SourceCod33 You missed my point. They cherry picked this guy because he's NOT a good investment. That's my point. They picked him cause he's good TV. He's laughable.
@@Underhills I doubt the sharks would want to invest in all contestants every episode as well, it might be too much to invest at once with too much work/risk. Getting someone like him to just be made fun of on TV for like 15 minutes is great for them.

I am pretty sure he didn't mean THAT bike would be in the Tour De France, but a bike with his cranks. But that style of cranks has been introduced before. They are NOT more efficient. They are less efficient. And the UCI would never allow a bike with weird cranks like that anyway.

@@SwiftGQ What link? Cas is referring to the original comment...from a bike YT...🤣🤣🤣
How AWESOME would it be to see THAT bike entered into the Tour though. No team, just that guy on his bike, laying back, bombing down mountains whizzing past everyone
He just found what he thought was a loophole to scam the government out of money and threw his best idea at it. I guarantee no more thought went into it than that
thus guy hadn't done his homework. He was just throwing the biggest names he could think of, in this case the Tour of France.

You had to stop, turn and then continue,
Bikes havent even been around that long. Its only til like 1880 the first chain driven bike was made. Before that was some weird bike you rode by pushing on the ground and the penny farthing bikes with the huge front wheel which really isnt a traditional bicycle
“It’s is more efficient” “it is good for bodybuilding” how does he not see that making exercise easier does not make bodybuilding easier😂 that’s like saying a hover board is good for staying healthy😂
There is no such thing as a hoverboard. It's only a two-wheeled, electronic skate board. A true hoverboard does not roll.

Yeah, the only place that word can be used is in the Australian property market where the government will literally step in and prevent investors from falling on their arse when the market is set to crash (like they did during covid)

Probably because the UK comes from a parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy where as America is a capitalistic democracy. Americans understand the freedom that comes with capitalism and so Im sure that understanding leaves very little patience for stupidity. MURICA
@@kavatractionmeditationstud2825 Capitalism was invented by British economist Adam Smith. It's not unique to America at all.

This guy should be arrested. LOL
For?
To be fair the cost of production would go way down with an investment
he is such a scammer he didnt even want to reveal the actual price it cost him
How did this guy even find the set
this was not a scam, this man was delusional, he does not understand how finance works, how the tour de france works, and maybe not even how pedals work. His pump action pedal is no more efficient than a traditional pedal. Yes it has more leverage, but leverage merely generates the same amount of force over a longer time. So there is no power advantage over a traditional pedal arrangement. You get more go for every pumping cycle, but every pump cycle takes longer. There is a still the up and down motion of the feet.
Not understanding the basics make him a really bad engineer.
And the fact that you have to push and pull back the whole time instead of circular motion
But he has ample experience riding his bike.
Mate it’s a scam😂
When someone starts the pitch with:
"100% secure, risk free"
It's a SCAM
The only reason why they are being gentle with him is because they (like me) must think he is a little crazy?
He never got around to explaining the "turbo charger!" 🤣
I must say these Australian "Sharks" are far more polite the the ones for the US show.
We generally are. See the lack of heat lamps on the contestants. Australians won't stand for that shit. We'll tell you to fuck off.
When someone says the bicycle has not changed in 100 years. It's a scam.
Russell Carlile What if he says... it hasnt changed in 200 years?? !(0o0)!
"the bike hasn't changed in 200 years". Rides out on PeeWee Herman bike
What's wrong with PeeWee Herman?! ...oh, right.
If he compares bikes from 200 years ago to now, he would notice a massive change lol
Perfect!

*Hears him list how good the bike is*
"And every time you ride, a horde of kittens will cuddle and pet you at the end of the day*
Tour de France is just like any other sporting event. The equipment is all standardized.
This guy's basically trying to sell an F1 car to Nascar, or flippers to Olympic swimming lol
He’s just funny! Delusional.
"It cost me $2,600 to make, and I sold it for.....$2,600" - see, that's how you make $5BN of profits in 5 years!!!😂😂😂😂
MaxM888 Kevin and Mark on the US version would have just told him to gtfo and stop waisting their time if they heard that
Valeria wasting*
$2'600 to make, sell for $5'000'002'600 to make a five billion profit easily 😂
To be fair he had only made and sold 20 of them, you get a lot of savings on manufacture when you are making in bulk.
I mean, the fact that he simply chose to make 20 bikes and then sell them at cost to test the market really isn't that big of a deal. If he, as a random engineer self building these things, can make them for $2,600 and get someone to pay $2,600...then a business expert can very likely find ways to produce them for a lot less and sell them for a lot more.
It's just...everything else he's saying that makes him ripe for the looney bin.
This dude is 6 year old me when I thought if gold is expensive then I could dig up shiny rocks in my back yard and sell them for more.
Even him just riding it through the hall in the first 2 seconds, by the way he keeps quickly turning the handles while trying to bike straight, shows that it’s less stable/harder than a normal bike.
He sounds like a tech scammer with everything he's saying LOL.
He sounds like a bad Mario impersonation.
@@johnmilo6688 that Indian accent 😂
I agree and for that reason, I'm out. 🤣
He guarantees you will get each and every of your monies back
He seems like the guy that uploads these free energy perpetuum mobile videos on youtube 🤣
I would have paid money to see Mr Wonderfull tear his ass apart in 20 seconds :D
bReAtH same ! I thought the same
I wish this was the US version. Imagine Mark and Kevin reacting to this guy 🤣🤣
But would you pay $5mil 100% risk free though?
I'd like to see Deborah from Dragon's Den tear him apart too. Either Kevin or Deborah would've been so brutal.
The way he just rolls in like the kid from the shining 💀💀
The guy sounds like Dr Evil.
“Five BILLION dollars!”
This guy:
*Im gonna do whats called a pro gamer move*
[Mission Failed]
Jasper L. Ferini we’ll get em next time
I used to be a gamer like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee.
Honestly wish they weren’t so nice to him for once. If anyone ever deserved to be chewed out on this show it’s him lol
th-cam.com/video/ZpKj8LIBn5k/w-d-xo.html This despicable scammer deserved it way more, yet she got an investment!!
I think either they were understanding that he was delusional and were trying to be kind, they were genuinely curious about how far the delusion went, or they were stupid enough to think it was legit
Alex Nicoles I can understand that but they really shoulda done him a favor and knocked some sense into him
Pataganja agreed! I was just saying those are possible reasons they didn’t. Besides, if he was delusional then nothing they said would have helped
Pitch: "risk free"
Every shark is thinking: "I'm out, but for this show I have to sit here and listen to this scammer."
The poor, poor man. He has lived his entire life with people laughing at him. You know this isn't the first time.
million, billion, trillion, whatever ion, lol
Might as well just make up a number.
Squadrillion.
Lol
@@BeczaBot Or pentillion
@@BeczaBot Scamillion
@@BeczaBot that’s a million to the power of how many people are currently in your squad
When he wheeled in I was only thinking "do you want to play a game?" LOL
Holy moly, the pitch in Aus and England is 110% identical! Word for word, and even the comical product test.
We're nearing 2020. I wanna know how many billions he made😂
Edit: it's already 2020!
Same here
I wanna know if he even made it to Tour de France 🇫🇷 😂
Troppo Bicycles is no longer a registered entity as of February 2019.
@@saturnGEEK lol
@jb-lone They're based on an existing design by multiple companies globally. Nothing new here, as the sharks clearly pointed out.
You know it’s serious when one of em takes their glasses off ☠️
Lmao this guy is like the Indian Telemarketing callers
When he started with “I’m from Melbourne” with that accent I knew this would be good
“There’s a term for that! It’s called ‘Fraud!’”
Ah, satisfaction.
