Gotta luv the last one, with the engineer doin a burnout then launches into a car at speed. Then blames the throttle getting stuck on.....
Mawahahahahahah. 155 mph is damn quick for an electric bike.

haha that last one is funny as hell although a burnout just isnt the same without the engine noise to go with it.. Dam that thing looks like it can accelerate rather quickly though

Why do they insist on making them look like R2D2's bastard love child? The first one is a fugly piece of Japanese Transformers pseudo-robotic crap
.
...the second two are drag bikes, they look relatively normal for a drag bike...to me anyway
When they look like a 08 ZX10R (or indeed, a 2006 Hornet), handle like a 10R and accelerate like a 10R and all you will need is an extension cord and a six-hour/overnight charge for a day's ride then I'll hand over the dough.
You'll need some type of loud stereo system with a speed-coupled rev-simulator otherwise we'll be mowed down in our hundreds, talk about stealth...quiet
AND deadly!

a few reasons
1) range, 20km aint enough for me to get just to work
2) top speed of 40km/h just doesnt cut it with 80km/h roads
3) looks like r2d2 humped a razor scooter
4) (nearly forgot) have you SEEN the pricetag on a segway?

Mate I did say if you weren't in a hurry and I wasn't really serious
. Anyway, the broomstick puts me off...
But seriously, how much of a dweeb can you look and still be willing to appear in public?
