I haven't been paying attention to this thing, but all these news about it today got me reading. So i did a little research on it and come to this conclusion: it's still a freaking scooter. Say you're driving down the street at a blazing 12.5 mph, and there's an object in your way...have fun turning! You have to stop, turn, go, stop and turn again to get around something...real convienent. Average miles per charge should be 11 miles. A lot of things around my way are way out of that range. Say you want to go somewhere and back, you've got about 5-6 mile range unless you're gonna wait for hours for it to charge. It's supposed to be portable. The thing weighs 80 pounds. Have fun getting up steps. I think old folks and fat people will benefit most from this. Oh right, max weight capacity is 250 pounds....and most old people can't dead lift 80 pounds. do'h. Have fun selling this in places with a lot of snow or mountains...or no sidewalks. This is also powered by electricity. Good no emissions. So where does that electricty in your wall socket come from? Probably a high emissions power plant. It won't be until we don't rely on coal or oil for power until this actually makes sense.
Maybe I'm bitter, I guess I really wanted a flying scooter like in Back to the Future 2. On the bright side, we're making progress. Computers used to take up whole rooms, now we're sticking them inside our freakin brains. In a couple of years I'll have that flying scooter i've been dreaming about.
