It may not be the nicest looking two wheeled thing you've seen, but considering it's 'clean' advantages, I'd say it's on to a winner. Well, I can only hope - but we wont see much of things like this untill all the oil in the world has ran out.

What do you mean why Because it's friendly to the environment, it's not built to look better than the bikes on the road, it's built to save our planet.

Think of the bigger picture.
