When I was living in LA a few years back and these had just come out we went and checked them out. Kinda cool in the sense that they are a neat toy but super expensive and as mentioned earlier you could buy a real M/C for the same price.

True. Although, I don't think the point is for this to replace a motorcycle. In my opinion, these would be cool urban commuters - a nice alternative to a twist-n-go scooter. Plus, the light weight would make for easier storage (say, in an apartment building).
