The companies announced Tuesday that they are working together to develop a two-wheeled, two-seat electric vehicle designed to be a fast, safe, inexpensive and clean alternative to traditional cars and trucks .

Are funeral services included in the price?

Where are the headlights, the tail lights, the tag lights, the turn signals, Is that windshield shatterproof? Is there an air bag? That steering wheel looks like it could shatter a chest quickly in a head on.Side impact could be very damaging. I would much rather take my chances on a motorcycle.Even an electric one.

The surprise is when the driver stops the vehicle and then gets up and walks. It looks like transportation for paraplegics.

What are you complaining about? That thing is totally safe! Don’t you see the Safety Tape wrapped around the rollbar? What could possibly go wrong?

Reminds me of Ed Begly Jr’s car in the Simpson’s “powered by his own sense of self-satisfaction”. (and kudos to Ed for being a sport on the show)

How about getting caught between two tractor trailers when they hit.

The training wheels make it. LOL

I hadn't thought it possible, but this ridiculous thing actually makes Sam Lowry's Personal Transporter in the move Brazil look cool.

...clean alternative to traditional cars and trucks

Doesn't look like it could tow a very big boat, especially on the hills.

Not only that, but where exactly am I supposed to put the sheets of drywall and 2x4s I need to remodel my basement?
