Damn, this could substitute for my bicycle commute. I could just walk the distance in the same time. That would be sick. But I don't want to try at $1.4k
The max speed for one of these is 7 mph, which is likely slower than you on a bicycle.
Right, but because of one-ways the fastest route for me walking is half a mile shorter than on a bicycle. It's the compactness that appeals to me. I live in SF so I often don't take my bicycle somewhere because it'll be stolen. It only has to put me in the same ball park (~10 min) to make it worth it.
