  3. I like it. It looks like it's using Segway technology with safety wheels in the front and rear. If only battery technology progressed to a point where its useful range is more than 10-15 miles, it might actually catch on. On board sensors could control acceleration if an obstacle is detected, like pedestrians or other small battery powered vehicles. If oil hits $150-$200 barrel, which it will some day, the possibilities are endless.
     
  4. As long as you are never involved in an accident with an SUV. :D

    I would like to jump one of those, assuming they go fast enough.
     
  7. If oil hits $200 gallon ($8+ gallon gas), the SUV will die a slow painful death. But yeah, little side roads like those made for bicycles would be needed.
     
  8. Parts of europe pay that already.
