Ginger can only survive as long as high gas consumption vehicle owners & commercial trucking continue to pay gas tax which provide funding for paved roads. Consistent with present taxation on fuels that power vehicles, this little thing contributes $0.00 to repair, upkeep or paving of the roadways or even sidewalks it is designed to be operated upon.
For the narrow minded greenies its part of their "better world". But, for the realists its a toy with a taxpayer funded gaming arena.

I think it's a toy and will appear in the Sharper Image catalog when available to the public.
Ashame it doesn't have a seat, as it might be a good travel mode for the physically challenged individual as a replacement for the electric wheelchair.
But hey, Rich kids can beg Mommie and Daddie for one to replace their boring electric scooters.

I'm getting ready to leave for work, which is one mile away. It's very cold and you can bet I'll be in my 4,000 pound scooter today.
Also.....where will the masses ride these things? On the sidewalk or in the street. They don't mix well with people or cars. But I'll buy one when they get near a few hundred $.
