I think they are pretty cool, I checked it out when they did their first press release last year I think it was. Do they have a date for production yet?

First production run is 2014. That's all I could find so far.

Maintenance access doesnt look real good.

More vaporware...

... and the only reason I can see for having 2 doors is to be able to get out, either way it falls...
That is not comforting... ;D...

Once you have doors,.. I want at least 3 wheels... :-?...

Well,, I didnt know it was one O them electric things,, so,, I guess its all good. I guess its like those things ya ride, with gyros all up in it,,I think it would feel weird being on 2 wheels & unable to put feet down,

I like that,, & in the end of it, when they were dancing ( 4 of them) it looked like the rear end comes around , making for a real small turning radius,& of course it must, since the fronts are stuck pointed straight. I really dig the way it leans, yet the front wheels remain vertical, but I also like the leaning front ends on trikes, & now, Id like to see one that does both.. that'd be one way cool lookin, hard cornering sundermuggun,,I guess it would be best at that point to lay the rear wheel over some at high speeds in hard corners,,

It looks fun to drive. Reminded me of a flintstone car. But the good thing is you can ride in the rain & stay dry. There's nothing better than feeling the wind & being outside the vehicle. It just makes it way better. I'm just gonna stick to my old fashioned 2 wheeled bike.

30 miles on a charge won't get you very far.

It'll get me to work three days in a row, without freezing my axx off.  8-) There were a couple of days this winter that I didn't even get the bike warmed up enough to turn off the choke. :(

Battery fails, gyros fail, gravity wins  ;D

Try googling Wolseley Gyrocar, this principle was tried out about 1912. They buried the Wolseley Gyrocar
