This is what I want for Christmas. Well I’m probably not going to get one (price tag = $2530). It’s way too cool looking though and the future of what kind transportation I want to have. Electric and easy to get around in. Of course living in Kansas City doesn’t provide the year round weather to use this as a full time mode of transportation. Another downside is that I’ve only found this for said in Australia. So it would probably cost me just as much to get it shipped here as it would to just buy it outright. Anyway, it’s an electric bike…how freaking cool is that. And it looks a lot cooler than any other electric bike I’ve seen yet. Go check it out at this site
I think I’ve already told most of my friends that I will never buy another gasoline engine car. It’s either biodeisel, electric, or hydrogen power for me after I am ready to trade in my hybrid. Now I’ve talked to a few friends who say “yeah well it’s still cheaper to buy a used regular car even if gas is up to $4 a gallon.” Ya know what. That’s probably right, but if that’s the only reason you are wanting to get a hybrid then you’ve missed the entire point! It’s not about what it would cost you personally, that’s a very selfish way to look at it. The real question is what does it cost society and people as a whole? If we continue our dependance on any kind of oil domestic or international. What will it cost us in 20 years? 50 years? When our kids are 50? It’s not been till recently that Americans have realized, how ever small and short lived the realization maybe, that our dependance on oil has some serious issues involved with it. With that I’ll gladly do my part today and support (support to companies is not just moral support but financial meaning buying their product) more expensive technologies that will further society tomorrow.
Anyway, enough of the soapbox. If anyone wants to buy me that bike I will totally let you ride it some time 
peace to all and have a great Advent Season!!!
