while that is kind of interesting...no...just no...that was a total waste of designing resources, and everything else I can think of. If I lived iner city, I'd buy a really nice $3-400 bicycle, not a gadget that is basically an electric bicycle for the price of a car. Just not happening for me, but hey, if people want to spend their hard-earned cash on one of these things, that's their choice! I agree though...douche...

EDIT: sorry, but the segway wins my vote XD
