I have a 1 mile commute to work and sometimes walking/biking just isn't a realistic option. I've been considering a vespa, but this gives me a reason to hold out.

Plus its 40 miles depending on the weight of the rider...so what a 260lb guy would only get 20 miles? or less? seems like a waste to me, props for the idea, but until they can approve the range ill be sticking to gas. does anyone notice that they only have a 40 mile range? and their specs dont include how long it takes to recharge it?

Hope that battery lasts a hell of alot longer than 5k or 6months. From their website:

Neither does generating the electricity they consume, I'll bet. Funny how the "green" camp always likes to ignore these things.

Very cool. How about interviewing some of these guys in a future podcast? NOW you are talking and I just checked their site and they offer LED headlight options. Very cool.
