its a tiny gasoline engine, so that solves the typical electric vehicle problems with range.

When listing the cons, you forgot the three wheels. O.K. It's not as bad as two rear and one front, however I'm not rating it's handling as any thing other than awful. Oh and yeah, the number of seats. Motorbikes are cheaper, quicker, have better handling, better MPG, higher top speed, the same boot (trunk) space (none), only con is the 0 crash rating! Toyota Aygo has more seats, more power, similar MPG, similar price, etc...

Motorcycles don't have AC and music... plus if you smoke, you can't do that on a motorcycle. This thing can also be controlled with an iPad.

Provided the centre of mass is near the front, probably handles quite well.
