  • Its good 2 in 1 solution. If you got hit by a car in this you wont need to buy a coffin.

    Their gonna bury you in it.

  • It's a GM thing... It's called an Electric Network Vehicle (EN-V)

  • if you get hit my a car in that thing your pretty much fucked

  • That computer model made me think about driving a massive vaccuum cleaner~

  • just slap some solar panels on.

  • @cooldudewitpot and you get a toster

  • Some great responses here! I agree, lose some of the Technology and add a third wheel. Not spinning those Gyro's would probably increase distance between charges too. Of course a solar panel seems like a natural addition too, so it can recharge itself some and not rely 100% on an outlet.

  • what about going up hill...I'm from trinidad ...west indies

  • Yeah right. I need my hummer to get to the barber shop. There's a pot hole.

  • Hey I'm an American. I need a 6000 pound 350hp. suv so I can drive to the store to buy a loaf of bread. Or to go get a haircut. Yeah baby.

  • Instead of paying thousands of dollars for gryoscopes and high tech components, why not just add a third freaking wheel? With 3 wheels then you need no computer, a motor and seats, and thats it you could build this for well under a 1000 dollars.

  • @GhostInTheShell29 it exist its called a bike

  • do they come in different sizes? because everybody knows that 3/4 of the U.S. pop. won't be able to fit in those normal size people vehicles, we all know they will need the extra, extra, extra, extra, extra ample ones to get to mcdonald's.

  • were gonna die aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaa

  • my mtn bike is great. suspension tires gears brakes strong frame.

  • This is more than a new car, is the end of the car as male symbol. Acept it!

    Rye -

    ANATOMIKA

  • Looks like a Wheelie-bin.

  • OMG no! These are ridiculous! New York will look like downtown Pyong Yang

  • Hahahaha - 'Dont say tip, Dont say tip, Dont say tip - Damn it I said TIP!!!'

  • i too have a 2 wheel vehicle that uses a computer to balance on 2 wheels

    its called a bicycle

    it use my brain to balance

  • @emforty2

    lol, Yep you hit the nail on the head with that one. this thing is just retarded! haha

  • @emforty2 The thing is i bet you have a huge car also i would switch that in with the miny 2 wheel scooter in the video. its safer defenietly once everyone starts getting these mini 2 wheel cars crashs will be a bit safer teens will not get killed as often at these speeds it just takes the older people to grow up and put away they gas guzzlers so we get better everything. along with reasons above it is crowded and getting more and more so as human race populates we better start shrinking cars.

  • @emforty2 haahahah ur halirious

  • @emforty2 rotational inertia...

  • It's an expensive toy just like the segway. If you put just one more wheel on it then you eliminate the cost and energy needed to have an expensive computer keeping it upright. But hey, I guess it looks fun and if I were rich enough I'd probably buy one! (I would never use it on the roads though!)

  • this is a GM gay idea like the tahoe

  • why do green cars look gay except tahoe.

  • @buopesado because the country wants to be neutered. a wet blanket of a emasculated nag. its up to us to kepp the spine in the county.

  • It's just perfect for golf courses, parking lot security patrol, and rental offices...not for public roads, though.

  • And dates. =D

  • @GLHat YOU SIR ARE A FAT FUCK.

  • I would be scared of getting killed in that thing. Way to small... One idiot hits you.. not good signs.

  • Yeah,but you can't haul nothing! I think I'll stick to my motorcycle!

  • looks like they're riding in a mail drop box

  • Just invent solar-powered shoes with wheels and get it over with.

  • I'd rather ride a Bike.

  • Paris, London, Tokyo and even China

    yeah they all have high speed trains and then people ride bicylces the rest of the way or walk

  • i'd have sex in it

  • "The timing is perfect." Really? Is it really? Is that why GM filed for bankruptcy protection Monday? C'mon, we're just clutching at straws now aren't we..

  • screw this crappy small POS bring back the EV1!

  • Aye!

    Your tax dollars at work right here...

  • DUDE! SOOOOO awesome! :D i want one someday

  • me too :D

  • ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨ post to 3 other vids

    ¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º look at ur backgroud

  • 1. read this comment

    2. stop posting fucking annoying chain comments

    3. find some friends

    4. FUCK YOURSELF AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!

  • how about u get the fuck over urself and leave ppl alone we ca ndo that if we want so shut the fuck up

  • it would be nice to have one in the city if the liscence, permit, and insurence is not required.

  • But too bad it might not happen (unless they start being funded & run by the government) due to the fact it might cost our economy big time.

  • special roads will be made so that this GM/segway vehicle can drive on it ?

    whos gonna pay the Millions or Billions for those streets?

    the taxpayers ?

    is GM that special ?

  • Well something has to be done to keep them away from me, the urge to throw rocks would be too great.

  • it's an idea, not a must. and i'd rather pay taxes knowing it was going into this sort of development of green vehicles compared to my tax money bailing out a company producing hummers.

  • well id rather my tax dollars not go to any of em, but i guess it s too late now.

  • no more subsciptions, please.

  • this is where GM spent the $14BILLION bailout money

    trying to steal marketshare from the Scooter Store

    instead of tackling toyota and honda head on on hybrid/electric vehicles

    a once mighty SUV maker reduced to making electric wheelchairs

    im gonna check if MEDICARE covers the cost of owning one as i have mobility problems you know !!

  • I don't see why this is a practical idea. If you're going to get a 2-seater vehicle, why not just get a safer, longer-lasting go-kart?

  • so... it runs for an hour at top speed, thats useless

  • I would like to see the crash test at 30mph.

  • I would prefer not to see the dead people,oops sorry, ...

  • No one will want this car unless they make it more convenient. That car looks like it'd be uncomfortable for long periods of time, no one can drive cross-country with this thing; unless they update it with the necessary tools of modern day vehicles.

    No CD player, no space to move around, no luggage compartments, and just the look of it is a turn off. This car is FAR from being common on the streets. Like decades far.

  • With a max speed of 35mph and a maximum distance travel of 35 miles per charge I don't think anyone would even try to go cross country. It'd take about 1000 charges just to do so.

    This is pretty much a good idea if you're running somewhere close; to the store, library, campus, practice (depending on what you play and size of the musical instrument/sports gear), etc..

    I really don't see anyone trying to visit grandma for Thanksgiving in this thing or taking the kids to Disneyworld. LoL

  • Lol, yeah you're right.

    But still, we are always trying to come up with an identity for the future before it's even close to arriving, and we are usually completely off of what it will really blossom into.

    People will laugh at this in 20 years; I personally laugh at it now.

  • How wonderful, little coffins on wheels to work in a little box to pay of another very overpriced Box..

    Quality of boxes has over run quality of life..

  • What is the advantage to two wheels on a vehicle that size? Did the developers of this thing ask themselves that question?

  • thank god they put training wheels on this cuz I alway wanted to see wut it would look like wit 2 ppl fallin at the same time

  • get a bike, you can go a whole lot farther and u keep in shape. that's a bonus that the U.S. hardly has any consideration for.  Get in a crash with this thing and you're totalled. Stupid design, stupid idea, you can go faster on a bike too. Get a bike and a backpack.

  • Just in case you want to look stupid with someone else.

  • this product is meant to fail.......GM....can't u be a little smarter....?

  • This concept is flawed because most people go out to the market to shop for groceries.

    In comparison, a shopping cart is larger, roomier and built tougher.

  • it is meant for 2 average people and if it does get made they will make new streets where only these and normal cegways are aloud if someone who is in a normal car knows it is against the law to go on these roads in a average sized car does to stop people from using these two person things by hitting them with a car they will be jailed for along time for a badly injuring some one most likely killing the person b breaking the law

  • This vehicle has practically no use.

    As yourself this simple question please:

    When you go out, do you shop?

    Also ask yourself this question:

    If you shop, where will you fit your bags in that tiny scooter?

    Then ask this:

    If there is a major storm, would the strong winds smash you into oncoming traffic?

  • uh being fifteen soon(monday next week) not old enough to drive

  • Don't rush into it.

    I've been driving for over 21 years and I strongly suggest waiting because the newer technology in automobiles is coming soon. By the time you're 21, the technology should be better than what we have today.

  • x2, im 18 turnin 19 soon, been driving for more then 5 years.

    you'll be having better fuel economy, better performance.

  • what country you from I am in New York ,US and our starting age currently 16 might get changed to 18 and I plan on making my own kind of vehicle like a cross country skateboard with an engine on the back a glass dome over top you sit down and lean to tearn

  • turn*

  • im in the us also, new york as well. i been driving for more then 5 years..not legally lol. yes the law is actually 18 now its in effect i believe. before you could take drivers ed and have your license at 17 early but now even if you do that you have to wait.

    actually i dont feel like backspacing all that out its actually if your born before 1992 then your safe.

    and IMO the skateboard idea i dont think is safe lol

  • now did I say it was safe plus I was thinking the glass dome wouldn't be over the engine it is a invention still in refining it before it is made

  • Someone really needs to introduce you to punctuation.

  • at least it isn't my real world writing you wouldn't be able to understand it one bit

  • There was once a man powered machine called a bike. The people who used them had improved health and nice shapley asses , unlike the segway slobs.

  • but what about the people who way too much for a bicycle you weigh 700ish pounds then try it which is not the person I know who weighs 700ish pounds fault he has limpisima(misspelled)

  • I think its a good idea.

    Everyone needs to think about the future.

    This is a way to not only reduce fossil fueled cars on the road but to reduce ware and tare on the roads themselves.

    People who are against it are either ill informed or too attached to their over sized Hummers.

  • not necessarily....hummers are stupid but theres nuthing practical about this segway or any small roomless car....a smart cost way too much for a moped engine on 4 wheels

  • ugh you don't believe in global warming do you if you don't try this jump off a cliff 100 feet up in the air or make a hang mans noose and hang your self once you have done that tell me weather you believe in global warming cause suicide is what driving fossil fueled cars is basically

  • The two-seater Segway looks like Stephen Hawking's bat mobile.

  • the people who actually like this crap will get weeded out of the population, one car accident at a time.

  • uh roads illegal to drive a four wheel vehicle is what they will most likely do you purposely hit some one in one of these on one of those roads it will most likely kill them put you in jail for killing some one and breaking the law have common sense

  • I said ONE CAR ACCIDENT AT AT A TIME. Car accidents are not intentional....but yea genius, if you purposefully kill, you will likely go to jail, doesn't matter what kind of cars are involved.

  • why dont you just ride a bike

  • people are to lazy to exercise like that

  • because ppl dont want to ride a bike to work which for some ppl is far away.........

  • What about the fat fucks? This is still a one seater!!!!

  • I would hate to get hit by a real car while in that...

  • it is why it is still experimental read the back of the driver area and metal frame is still probably lacked and needed

  • I can appreciate that but still. Even a Smart or one of those cars that runs on compressed air ( even in their production stage), are like golf carts compared to say, a Caddilac...

  • roads specifically made for these 2 wheeled things illegal for 4 wheeled vehicles so you intentionally hit some one on these roads in one of these prepare to go to jail

  • that I did not know...

  • pick up some ho's with that :)

  • bitches like that shit

  • Lmao!

  • The worlds most complicated and excessive electric bicycle.

    What the hell...

  • 35 mph?

    people have the need for speed.

  • not old people which I am not but people who have the need for speed should live in germany near the autobahn

  • Can you please tell us what happened to your background? If nothing happened then you are offcially an A**HOLE!!!

  • GM the once mighty SUV maker now reduced to making

    motorized wheelchairs

  • Haha, thats a quality joke. Man, I thought those tiny smart-cars were bad. What happens if you go head on with a semi?

  • pay attention they said they would need to make roads just for these cars

  • The video was muted when I was watching it. Even then, aren't these suppose to save money? I highly doubt the taxpayers want to spend their money bulding roads for these gay-ass "cars." Who in their right mind would want to drive something like that.

  • "Who in their right mind would want to drive something like that. "

    I think that's the game the big auto companies play.  Making everything that's more efficient look very unattractive. That way they keep winning!

  • You know, we already have bikes, scooters, and all sorts of "city" vehicles.  I think this would be good though because it combines the cover you need from the elements with the speed of a scooter or moped, and without the fossil fuel usage. That and it looks fun to drive. Only problem would be charging it if you lived in an apartment.

  • looks like an ugly wheelchair

  • lol. who would drive that

  • looks like the halo monster pods

  • In America this is a luxury vehicle we all ride bicycles now the economy collapsed.

  • wow... makes you wonder, how crazy is the world gonna look in 50, 100, 1000 years...

  • "makes you wonder, how crazy is the world gonna look in 50, 100, 1000 years..."

    Look at what the world was like in 1909 compared to today. it seems likely the world will be that radically different in 2109 from today.

  • Why?!

  • "If you see a Chicano in a segway car, shoot that motherfucker."

    Masputo!

  • afford that in the hood? hell no....

  • its a death trap. what happens when some asshole hits you at 50mph, you will be killed instantly.

  • The long term goal would be to have this sort of idea replace the car. Safer, cheaper, and less polluting. Cars are a great means of transport, but the design is becoming outdated.

  • i will be dead by then......

  • I'd put some 26s on it !

  • oh yeah haha

  • Yea Relly think??

  • i like it. i think is a brilliant invention. if i had the money ill buy it.

  • no call it the Duoway cuz they should just do away with this concept.

  • call it the twoway

  • Funny little thing, maybe I'd buy one too!: )

  • that looks like a death trap.

  • Yeah, would require city infrastructure like he said. Not meant for regular roads.

  • Bring this to Portland! I want one!

    But they need to provide a bit more coverage - it rains a lot here
