If that's the motorcycle of the future then I'll walk.  [thumbsdown] Luckily, I don't see that catching on.

I agree with Triple J.  So much for "technology" and the advances IMO.  A battery powered car is all I see but I don't discount the usefulness in Europe and countries like China and India.  I just still can't believe how ridiculously expensive battery powered anything is these days.

Its wasting too much energy just to keep it upright.

For about $3000 more you can get a Diavel  [evil]

Our children will not be able to balance on 2 wheels without electronic stability/balancing systems
