With a top speed of 50 mph, and a price of $6,000, I think they'll have a very hard time selling them.

The Segway sells. Sort of.

I was in Shanghai a month ago, and every 50th two wheeler was an electric scooter. They made crossing the street a little hazardous, as they went as fast as a normal scooter, but didn't make any sound. Great way to get around a busy city.

What's next? A motorcycle that runs on the waste products of the rider (with appropriate plumbing hooked up)?

I read about this bike. It's so quiet people can not hear it coming. Can you imagine having to attach playing cards with clothes pins on such a high tech bike?

Now, you are ON to something. A vehicle that could run on recycled beer. This could transform the entire truck market. It could create a whole partnership between Detroit and U.S. brewers.

Think of the possibilities: Ford, runs great, less filling!

Budweiser, the heart beat of GMC.

and so on, and so on.
