Electric bike that folds into a shoulder bag

Looks like someone figured out where the Segway went wrong, and fixed almost everything about it (the remaining flaw being the astronomical price; it'd be cool if this makes it to market and drops by 80% within the first year).

I love at the end where he puts it in his bag and tries to act like he isn't carrying a lead weight on one arm.

The problem is, you still look pretty dorky/smug riding one, and it looks hella dangerous.

If you want something like this, just get an electric skateboard: http://www.exkate.com/

It is probably safer, and you might look sorta cool.

Seems to be the most dangerous thing to drive without a helmet. Hands are at the worst position to protect your head in case of an accident your face is guaranteed to smash into somewhere till your arms reach to cover your head.

I'm sure we'll see those on the Caltrain soon. People there regularly have some of the most sophisticated and expensive folding bikes I've ever seen.

I disapprove of the smelly green lines that will constantly be emanating from riders of this new device.

Looks fun. I wonder about the handle bars being too low, forcing one to slouch in order to use them.

I reckon Wired's name for it is the best "Cute Electric Penny-Farthing".

The range is only 9k :(

For comparison, a Segway can do about 40k.

Nice! have a look at this one too, please: www.gocycle.com
