Call me pedantic, but doesn't it have two wheels?
What advantages does this have over a standard bicycle? Is it solving a problem that doesn't exist?

- riklomas 18y agoBeing all-electric means it will cause some emissions though, whereas a bicycle doesn't have emit any at all (although you could say it's powered by human-energy which in turn is powered by other things)
