Carbon Fiber wasn't necessary, and those people look pretty uncomfortable riding it.

It's about time another challenger stepped up to face the segway for the crown of dorkiest mode of urban transportation.

Not a chance for the nearly $3k they'll be asking.

Could buy a used motorcycle for that price... but not insure it. I dunno, get it around the $1k mark and you'll get impulse buyers like me splurging on it, spur of the moment.
