The YikeBike was actually inspired by the Segway and the reason we think it has even more potential is that is is less than a quarter of the weight, a firth the volume, with more safety features. This means it can link in with all existing transport infrastructure.
Even our first high tech carbon version is cheaper than the Segway and long term we think the price has a potential to reduce dramatically. See www.minifarthing.com for the list of ideas for future versions. The Tesla car company is criticised for producing a high performance product first before getting to a cheaper version but this is the reality of how new technologies come to market. Our aim was to make sure the first product is a superb piece of engineering that far out performs any comparable product
Yes like all batteries steep slops will reduce the range and life of the battery. We will give details of the full battery specifications once all the testing has been done and we will at some stage offer additional battery packs.
Thanks for your thoughtful comments
