Slightly less dorky than the solo Segway or double dorky?

Along the lines of the segway, cute but impractical and dangerous in the wrong hands.

Just what i always wanted, a vehicle that can go 35 miles an hour, for 35 miles, and look ultra classy too, and even with an extra seat so I can pick up chicks on the sidewalk. Snazzy!

I'm sorry but sticking people in these on the sidewalk isn't going to solve the traffic problems, then there are issues of bad weather, and also it being open air so people can mess with your vehicle.

Last electric power vehicles aren't a solution for pollution problems if the the electricity is being generated from coal, oil, or nuclear power.

What the heck do they need those for when they have a perfectly good subway?
