It’s a scooter, i’ll give you that. Are scooters bikes? Whole other question.

It’s got two wheels, a motor and you don’t pedal it to start it. Most municipalities would classify it as a motorcycle; probably marketed and sold as a scooter.

@Duc: “Gay and boring”? Most of the gay dudes I know are quite interesting and not at all boring. It’s the meat head homophobes who put my to sleep. Okay, they make me laugh a little, then I get bored REALLY fast.

It isn’t as romantic as a bike. That’s ok if it makes up for it with functionality. I’d like to see some start-stop footage and some mount-dismount footage. I bet if we could see it doing some of the more mundane things motorcycles need to do, we’d find it isn’t as practical as BMW wants us to believe.

I like this idea, but wonder about the execution.

If you need a cage over your head, buy a car!
