50 mph?

This thing scares me. I want one.

I have a Segway (a black i2!) This is something wonderful, and altogether different.

The first word that popped into my head was "lawyers"

It's an electric motorcycle with a really convoluted throttle. To ride one legally you'll need a motorcycle license and insurance. The pedals are a cute little cognitive illusion, but this is in no way a bicycle.

Personally, for €10,000 I'd rather have a Brammo - http://www.brammo.com/empulse/

My dad has an electric bicycle. Using the pedals as a means of throttle feels very natural (I commute on ordinary bicycle) and surprising, as if you have a strong wind in the back, or like if someone pushes you ;-). The eRockit is uncomparably overpowered, of course. This thing is pure adrenaline.
