Love the advanced technology. A great commuter option. Imagine roads full of these rather than SUVs.

I feel the mass of an object 5' tall must have a center of gravity about 6" from the ground to keep it upright if a car struck it 2' off the ground and stay upright. Let's say it works in full mock up like the model the tech slid the tire into; we are looking at a vehicle that will pass under a tractor trailer frame. I thought Ridley's original bike was short. This scooter would be about the same size and make a Smart car look like and SUV.
