Prices change in time - the idea has real merit though and should be followed up on.

Why bother pedal at all?
It's obvious that the human power is superfluous compared to the power added by the motor=battery.
$40,000 novelty bike.

can't hear the video at work but from the looks of it if it was way cheaper it could be pretty sweet. I mean a little commuter that you NEVER have to fill up?!?! I would probably kill myself on it though.

Hmmm.. I wonder if it's legal in the bicycle lanes.

It could be better than a scooter for getting around inside cities & large towns.

Though 40K is pretty silly. Drop that down to 4K and maybe I'll dream about it : )

On Edit: When I say "scooter" I mean GoPeds and Bladzes etc.. like I see in SF.

Well the idea is not too original, we have had Mopeds for years.
