Let’s face it. You want one of these. Technologically advanced (or, at least, that’s my excuse for putting it into this blog…), sophisticated European design, fuel efficient (6L/100 km, or 39 mpg), and capable of a zippy 185 km/h (120 mph).
“It” is the Vandenbrink Carver One.
Geeks everywhere (that means you!) will be lining up to buy this puppy. Who cares if it retails for $45K US?

It's cool, alright. Looks like loads of fun, too.
It's about as practicle as a motorcycle, though, which is to say that it's not too practicle especially for people with families. On the flip side, the biker will reject it because it doesn't let him fit into bike culture by using one.
I predict failure for this product. I bet they don't sell more than a few thousand. Pity, because it IS really cool looking.
