Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yikes.

Not a bike. It's an underpowered scooter with a top speed of 15mph.

You can't carry your scooter with you into the NYC office building like a briefcase.

Yeah, but at least you can ride a scooter on hills. Check out the warnings page:

Never use the YikeBike on steep hills (over 5 degrees) and only go slowly down hill.
