Comment SBU ryno (Score 1) 93
I would rather get a Focus Designs SBU for $2k less http://focusdesigns.com/design/ . It's smaller and light so I could just flip up the foot pegs, pick it up, step on public transit and use it to get around once I get to my destination. The Ryno just doesn't have a practical application. It's not fast enough to be used anywhere but residential neighborhoods, I highly doubt it's street legal and it's too dangerous to be on pedestrian sidewalks and walkways. What do you do with it when you get to your destination? It's too big to take inside and small enough to be shoved in someones trunk and stolen.
I would rather have something faster then walking that I can take off it's stand by the door on my way out the door and just set in my office when I get to work. I can see the sbu really taking off in big cities where people don't always own cars and could replace taxi use. At $4.11 ($1500/365=4.109) a day I can easily justify its price in a year.
