I don’t expect to see the average person commuting on one of these. Secure parking at the destination will be an issue. And if you can stand maybe walking or cycling is a healthier choice.

I guess I just don’t get it. Who is asking for this other than maybe a few tour group operators? Who will benefit? I see only unnecessary congestion and really dumb, lazy devices.
Oh good, another group of entitled twats that will be jockeying for position in our already overcrowded downtown core. With a price tag of nearly $9000, at least I’ll know I can sue their ass when they smash into the side of my car while texting.
