I remember reading about that Honda one in a different bicycle forum. In that forum, John Allen, who is a rather brilliant bicyclist and music person, was able to figure out and explain what Honda had done wrong. It comes down to a dimensioning mistake. He didn't go into quite as much musical detail as this article, but he got it right.

The article goes into a fair amount of mathematical music theory.
