It's street legal (as a motorcycle), and goes 50 mph for up to 45 miles -- reasonable for a city vehicle. The problem is, it costs $15,000, which makes it more expensive than a lot of more capable vehicles. Given that you'd need a second car for long trips, it would take a lot of driving to justify that kind of money. Also, I've been in one, and the build quality is pretty lousy. It looks like someone assembled it in his garage. That would be forgivable in a vehicle that cost $5,000, but for $15,000 I sort of expect more.
