Looks like a silly 'concept' vehicle - I suspect if they do make such a vehicle it will be a fairly generic mechanical design, though of course the aesthetics are likely to be more funky.

Sure, it easily can make you killed.. Smile Smile Smile

However it'd be a rather nice experience to ride one of those..

I wonder how far you'd get before having gravel jammed in the rear wheel/ball. And then after a fair bit of use how unstable that rear ball would become once it's been worn down by the road surface.

Doesnt even look like an official concept to me.

Great commuter Rolling Eyes Sport position is definitely the best for stop/go traffic

I think it would have to be a very "special" white jacket for me - the one that buckles up behind my back before I'd ever get on one of those things Wink

Looks like heavy braking would be a bit of a night mare.

this!

I think all this electric crap is a ploy by them to get people walking since when the battery dies, it'll be a nice walk home!

Only time i'd ever consider anything run on electric is when it can be charged up at an 'electric station' in the same time as you can with petrol.

There are various places in the world where there are electric charging stations and hydrogen stations (which gets turned in to electricity once in your car).
