    Eww.. I'll stick to my zero emissions bicycle, which also has a higher top speed and doesn't need to be plugged in.

    When either the xB or the Element came out

    it was targeted at college grads/young people who wanted a practical economical car! But it turned out that seniour citizens loved the practical design and upright seating position... Who knew?

    But they are not going to compete with Honda. What's the price point of a Vespa.... that's more realistic of a target. Just like the cars, the ruckus is to the civic as the mini is tho this.... well, mini.

    So I'm thinking more like 3-7k Yeah that's a huge gap but sooooo.... split it. 5500. lol

    Use at your own risk, I guess. I like it better now that I've seen people on it. Gives a better idea of the size of the thing. Definitely wondering where the price point ends up. Not sure that I'll be using it for my 20 mile commute.

    I think they should try and hit the 1200-1500 price point.

    Also since i am supplying the key and instrument panel for my phone thats less they ahve to build in.

    The whole scooter thing's not for me. If it's a nice day out and I want a ride, I'll jump on my Cervelo. If I need to drive somebody or my hockey gear I'll get in the MINI.

    True, but you have to actually work and get all sweaty in the process. With this you would smell better when you get to work. :lol:
