This is something that I would think Space would have thought of. LOL. But I do find that interesting of an idea. It will sell because of those reasons. Even though it will only be on the market to a good 45% of society. But it has potential. I would will never get one cause I am deathly afraid of small spaces. But it has the performance of a small car, and from what they say, the space? But it can only fit one person...LOL

Hi `Mike,
I'd drive one, but at the present price, I would not buy one...

I think it would be a blast to drive & 0-60 in 6 sec's isn't bad, but I'm sure I could put high test batteries in `it & get it to 0-60 in about 3 seconds & the 1/4 miles in less then 10 sec's @ over 120+ MPH WoW, now that would `be Electric Super Charg'in 4-Sure...Thanks `Mike 4 post'in / shar'in

I'm all for this if it outsells the hideous hybrid and electric cars that seem to be popping up everywhere. It's a different vehicle than your typical car, I think that's a great compromise between having an environmentally-friendly, compact, practical motocar and not having to kiss goodbye to traditional cars that don't look like bugs.

I'd buy this over a Smart/Leaf/Aveo/Versa/etc any day. It looks cool too. I'm also not a bike owner, but I can totally see where hardcore bikers would rage over this.

Cute idea but not my cup of tea. It would be like having a motorcycle kind of but dangerous to replace all cars with these. In my mind not enough protection around you. But then again I started off with a 78 Olds Cutlass Cruiser so I was surrounded by solid metal. lol. Im just a little baised I guess.

..I think it's one of those amusement type `rides, it's hard to judge until you get in `it & take it 4 a Super `Ride.

I'd love 2 test drive one 4-Sure...Our population of our world is increasing everyday & there's only so much room on our roads & there's only so much fuel, so much food, but more women driver(s) LOL...& crazy drunk men out there driving around under the influence of many things ~>`Kewl (LOL)

Look 4ward to the future, but EnJoy your Now,
Peace/Out
