Cool idea but it doesn't look like it would handle a crash very well.

I agree. It looks like it would fold right up.

Neihter does a bicycle handle high-speed crashs well. It is not meant for traffic outside of inner-city areas. And it is really cool! However, it is too heavy to be carried around like a bicycle.

Are you suggesting we will see these in bicycles lanes? People on bikes will be really pleased with that.

No windows plus rain and wind will make you a mess. And the seats soaking wet before you get in.

"Hiriko" sounds like a very faithful, um... car.

Pure pimp. I want one. This kind of thing would be perfect for Japan. I wonder how cost efficient it is.
