I think if it was a little cheaper (a lot actually), it could be a real commuter solution.

What do you guys think?

Oh I like that.

Honestly, where would the world of transportation be without the Germans?

Wow but way too expensive. Wait a few years and the knock-offs will bring it into most folks reality. Cool idea, I want one too.

"you know the germans always make good stuff."

All right, I LOL'd! ;)

Yes, cool, because you don't look at all stupid pedaling to make an electric motor go. How progressive. :rolleyes:


GTI - green text implied

OK, that's really cool.

It's a cool toy, but how many successful people got that way by spending 10x what they need to spend to get a vehicle that goes about the same speed? At a top speed of 80 km/hr, that bike is not allowed on the highways. So you're better off buying a moped, Vespa or 50-80cc motorcycle for a tiny fraction of the price. The fuel cost savings on this invention would be negligible over several lifetimes, given that it won't be doing long distances, since it can't use the highways. Seems like a big waste to me. But then I think the Smart Car should be named the Dumb Car too.

Would one need a drivers license for that thing???

Uhm, no officer, it's a push bike....

$50k bucks?

Yeah....right.

My brother has a electric bike/moped... pretty sure it didn't cost that much.

can i have one like that , but powered by something like a JATO rocket? that would be way more cool.

That's friggin' ridiculous. All this guy did is put a new user interface on the electric motorcycle.

On the other hand, people are stupid. They flock to those ridiculous "smart" cars like lemmings when a VW TDI seats 2.5 times more passengers and gets better mileage.

Every time i see a smart car i must resist the (very strong) urge to rip the driver out of the "vehicle" and savagely beat him.

Those things irk me just a little.

they have a new thing in Amsterdam called, "toss the Smart in the canal's"

Yet another reason to make sure i get there before i die.

imho , a'dam is overrated

it's like going to the MGM studio's theme park in Orlando, instead of the MGM studio's backstage , for real.

If it cost just $2,500.00 I might be interested.
