Do you yike this?
Yike Bikes - Urban Mobility
Kind of like a folding segway bike that you can pedal if you want.... and it has turn signals!

+++: very cool mutant design, and foldable, too!
---: Intended for city journeys of up to 9km. (divide by 1.6 to get 5.6 miles). Also, the YikeBike costs $4860. (source: http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/yikebike-electric-penny-farthing...).
verdict: I'm still waiting for the hoverboard. Meanwhile, I'll stick with a Dahon that costs 1/10th the price and can travel from downtown to Irving Park without having to stop and recharge.

If it really attracts cute young blonds that drive Subarus...then yes. Otherwise it looks really uncomfortable.

I don't like this thing. It's kind of pointless to me. Just ride a bike! Save the other thousands of dollars for a rainy day.

Wouldn't pay more than 20 shilling to look this mundane!

Plus, when you hit a Chicago pot hole, you go down hard!

What I don't understand is why they always put 12 mph limits on these things. Is that what keeps you from having to register it and get a plate? I think it wouldBhavesh way more mass appeall (not to mention more dangerous and fun) if it could go 20+ mph.
I really like e-bikes that have an assist mode where if you are already pedaling the bike will add in it's own energy to make you go faster. It's sort of like a hybrid car except instead of having an engine you have your legs. And then you could keep up with traffic going down Ashland... a little dream of mine.
