Imagine hitting a low wall at 35mph in one of those!

You'll either get centrifuged or head-butt some post sticking out of the ground. ::)

Not saying a lot. Most people would prefer walking to a Sinclair C5. I know I would.

I fail to see why over a hundred years of wisdom has to get binned every time someone develops a subtly different power unit for a means of transport.

We have evolved pretty good layouts for four and two-wheeled vehicles which are proven to work. If we just built nut-muncher-friendly versions of the above surely they'd have wider appeal than something like this?

They would be no good in Yorkshire, no good at all. A lot of the town centres here have 1 in 6 inclines. I doubt that would go up and I'd love to see the drivers face on the way down. ;D

I want to know what that litle wheel on the back is for - it's hardly likely to be doing wheelies!
