I don't know, you'd have to ride one for awhile then you'd probably get hooked. It's very smooth and quiet and really... (I hate to sound all tree hugger on you) it's like a zen thing. Just so simple, light and smooth. Hard to describe. lol. Just build one and ride it.

Besides, Chicks dig it. lol.
