That's really neat. I really admire folks intelligent and creative enough to build stuff like this. I don't think it's encouraged enough

You know it just hit me...a bicycle goes just as fast and I'm sure is a hell of a lot cheaper. It may not fold up as small but folks may also (God forbid) get some exercise and burn off some of that fat *** they have...

$4450!!! Again it's REALLY cool technology and creativity, but seriously? I'm sure with time the price will come down but still

I thought the same thing when I saw that price I think it's cool but not really that cool I will keep my bicycle.

Yeah, I saw a Segway on some show so I Googled it, C/L and checked out eBay. ****, I might as well restore a Shelby or something. Multicolored wheels and tires and some carbon fiber trim are cool parts, but $1500 for one that went in someones pool or something and had a few parts stripped off? Amazing technology though, like the Honda folding unicycle, that's sick!

Agreed it's kind of nerdmobile, but Kiwi ingenuity and design sense continue to impress me. We need more people like this guy and John Britton.

That thing is pretty neat. But for almost 4500 bucks it aint that neat.
