This is just a prototype but I think it shows some really exciting new ideas for personal transport. Using this vehicle would mean a lot less time stuck in traffic or looking for a parking space. The facts are simple 1) Our planet is dying because of our use of oil and 2) Even if that doesn't matter to you the oil is running out anyway. So the times they are a changing whether we like it or not. I think we need to embrace the change rather than cling to the past. I agree though that this prototype obviously isn't ready for production. It needs doors for a start! In the meantime Ill be getting one these bad boys for my daily sweat free commute http://www.wisper.kellsoft.net/905se-Sport.php Paul I agree with Sam.

This may be a publicity stunt but it also may be the beginning of some real brainstorming. Naysayers....comment on failblogs and leave the rest of us to come up with solutions.

When bike speed is below 10mph including 0, side wheels should be lowered - so that one need not use foot to hold it from falling. Motorcycle needs landing mechanism.

This is such a myth. Smart people weren't stuck in that mode at all. The internal combustion engine was early on understood to be a significant new source of propulsion energy.

People's minds were stuck in having a horse pulling your carriage around so it took them a while to get used to the internal combustion engine. Now everybody wants the next car to look like a car. The Segvrolet is a pretty good idea for cities like Seattle, where parking downtown is extremely expensive if you ever find a place. Besides, it's electric and relatively fast. Although it may not be the final solution, it's an excellent stepping stone. The comments on this blog post remind me of the reaction to the horseless carriage.
