Uh, explain how this whizzer is one shred different from the "coolest" moped. They both only get about a 30-40 top speed and they both can be peddled and both are going to be single user. If you are not one to try peddling your bike to that store 5mi. away at a rate 38mph and do not want to burn a ton of gas in your truck then this option does make sense. As much sense as a moped anyhow.
Jon, there are exceptions to everything. In India, you will probably see people commuting 50 miles and doing deliveries on a Whizzer or its equivalent! Certainly, they can be efficient if used efficiently.
I'm just saying that anything that I see most people doing on Whizzers and their equivalents, I do on my bicycle, using my legs. May not get there quite as fast, but I'm getting exercise. I'm 53 years old and overweight, so I need it!
For too many Americans, the Whizzer and other motorized bicycles are just another gasoline powered toy that replaces what we should be doing... getting some exercise.
I see people doing a 30 mile round trip commute down here in sunny AZ on Vespas and other scooters.
Mostly what I see of motorized bicycles, is very short distance commuting (I'm 3.5 miles from the U of A, and I see these bikes making that commute every day) and I know it could easily be done without burning any gas at all. By people HALF my age, mind you, who look much fitter than me...
But as I said earlier, there are always exceptions.
