    Well it looks like it's not actually released yet... only upcoming.

    Way hey hey, I like the look of pic 4 too but jeez, can you imagine the average muppet NZ driver in one of these "smartphones"? If they can't handle a car, I'm going to crash laughing at these toppling over, all over the place

    Back seat looks a bit, er, snuggly. Ok if that's your mrs knees around you..

    Well it appears the seat slides forward an back to accommodate the passenger, don't think too many guys would be keen on getting their nuts squashed in that contraption anyway...

    also, how do you countersteer with a steering wheel!

    Wonder if it would be easy to forget you're on two wheels though, and just steer it like a car, wobbly wobbly. Also, I was meaning the countersteering as the technique, not the automatic one.
