Above one or a pack of bikes in the twisties...that would be cool.  Sadly, at 25mph, it cant keep up   :-\

For the low, low price of $500 plus shipping (discounted from $999).  Still, it's a cool idea.  I imagine it will evolve to some insidious uses, such as surveilling subjects tagged with the tracker!

Ride an old Puch moped and stay out of a headwind.  The Sachs would outrun it.
