"Your electric bike is so pedestrian." 
"GM and Segway's joint venture is probably best described as a rickshaw without all the charm. The self-balancing Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility Project
(P.U.M.A.) can reach top speeds of 35 MPH, has a lithium battery that
lasts up to 35 miles with a single charge, and features
vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication for potentially reducing the
number of accidents. No word on when or if this'll actually go into
production but it's expected to be priced at just 25% that of a regular
automobile."
It looks like a Segway and a Hoveround mated.
Now, here is a vehicle that actually does make my electric bike look pedestrian:
Released today,
the Zero S is a fully electric motorcycle. It has a top speed of 60 mph, a range of 60 miles, and makes me go from zero-to-boner in 3.2 seconds. The $10K pricetag makes it hard to justify on economic payback, but it will come out light years ahead when you factor in all the extra quality time with the ladies.
