Over-hyped and expensive yuppie toy.

Neat little rig. Remains to be seen how it works in the real world.

Just what we need, another gadget so that we can get even LESS exercise than we do now.

Time will tell. They laughed at the car and the Tv too. Yuppy toys and they would never catch on LOL We saw how that worked out :P I could see this becoming big. Get cars off the road and replace them with machines that use electricity. It could happen.

Yeah, and wouldn't that be brilliant, millions of Californians coming home from work at 5 pm and recharging their batteries by plugging their electric cars/scooters into the already overtaxed power grid!
I could see it now. We would go from rolling blackouts to just plain blackouts.
Brilliant, simply mad scientist BRILLIANT!

I liked Mr. Garrison's device from South Park last week. It travelled 200 miles per hour and looked like a lot more fun to ride in.

Yeah, Naeb, energy resources were NEVER the problem. Allocation, as usual, is the bitch.
And hey I was just kidding, sorry if I offended you.

I saw IT on Good Morning America this a.m. If Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer could master it in 5 minutes, anyone can.
Also, they are selling the version on TV to corporations, cities, etc. The cities are interested for police...rather than a bike, use IT. Courier companies could also use this type of product.
The commercial unit they sell to the public will be slightly different and less expensive. It will still go for about 3k....
