So?

All I see is a picture and a vague declaration that it's different.

No article.

No documentation.

No technical details.

Is this supposed to be tied to a press release? Someone sure did a poor
job.

Very promising if it actually makes it to production at a price people
can afford, remembering that "afford" is a rubber word.

Hmm, after seeing it, I like it. The Segway this is a BS gimmick though.
But it
does offer another concealed storage space.

Perhaps offer an optional 'extra battery pack' that would fit in that area
and
maybe even double (possibly even triple?) the electric only range?

This is what the hybrid/electric car should be.

I'd buy one, depending on the price. But yes, I covet it.
