Twiking the System

A professor at the U. of I. has one of these. They look kinda awesome. Maybe we should ban all automobile traffic in the city besides emergency vehicles, cargo trucks, and buses, but allow these things (in addition to all those other things) on highways and in rural areas. The article is poorly written but the information is really interesting. Apparently they are classified as motorcycles for DOT purposes, so it's legal to drive them on the roads, and you can charge them in a standard electrical outlet. They can reach top speeds of 50-55 mph.
