    Isn't it a bit late for April 1st?

    You people are morons! I know it fashionable to not read the article,

    BUT It's a JOKE! and an old one at that!

    How can you laugh if you haven't bothered to even look at the pretty pictures?

    I realize that the sites already slashdotted, so here's the google cache http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:cBtUbkK6lukJ:we b.0sil8.com/episodes/megway/home.html+megway&hl=en of the front page. For the humor impaired: this is a parody of the segway.

    Also, as a long-time reader of /., I'd prefer to keep the joke stories confined to Apr 1st.

    Wow, what a stick-in-the-mud.

    In that case, I'm sure you already know how to turn off joke stories, just by editing your preferences and checking the "It's funny. Laugh." checkbox.

    But since you know that, why would you bother posting and complaining about them? Could it be that your love for complaining is even greater than your distaste for joke stories...?

    I bought it here: Bikes

    however it is made by Giant which is a hugely available brand in independant shops. Your local shop can order it and provide friendly support and deliver an assembled machine.

    note this model tops at 250 watts - and the power backs down as you approach top speed.

    Its not a motorcycle - it is a very enjoyable Bike.

    AIK
