This doesn't use the gear system though. (aside from the large front sprocket driving the smaller one on the device)
I'm quite surprised it can be built for £3, unless the battery is incredibly small.

But the market for something like that is not limited to the exact specific population of homeless in London. A thing like that could be produced in the volume necessary to get economy of scale, simply by not being limited to one city and a single particular model of bike, or even limited to the homeless for that matter.
If you don't understand that, then you are in a poor position from which to call anyone else dumb.
I have often wondered what sort of conversion it would take to use an AK47 and a box of ammo to drill a well/pump water, instead of suppress human beings.. transformative technology is highly interesting, don't you agree?

Herein lies the rub - can the homeless build these things for £1 a piece, somewhere in London?
Because if the answer is more oil-based traffic across the worlds oceans to get these things made, I'm afraid the irony of the builder/user distinction is rather unfortunate...
