The link at the bottom of the page will take you to a cool video showing it in action on a skid pad.

If scooter practicality was added to the basic concept I would want one.

Yeah it looks pretty cool. I think I have seen this before on MV...can't remember for sure.

Anyway the only thing I think may be bad about it is the getting around the motorcycle lic req. for non bikers. Could end up being bad when inexperienced cagers start crashing.

But i love the innovation and like you i would consider it.

I always cringe when people ask me if I need a MC license for the MP3 because I know some of them don't want to bother learning to ride and think this is the answer.
