Pushin’ products, pushin’ products… Starting grad school across the city in the Fall so I am in serious need of a transportation option that doesn’t have anything to do with Septa. Trolling the internets I came across this ridiculous contraption by Derringer Cycles. OH LORD how nice this ride would be! Feeling lazy? Pop on that 180 mpg engine and enjoy the ride. Feeling eco-conscious? Get your lazy ass on those pedals. No more car-share for me! Even with gas at $10 a gallon, this would still be cheaper than the bus… Its like a Vespa for a dude (or a motorcycle for a chick). Ok, ok, unfair sexual stereotypes aside, this thing’s got a little for everyone. But then you start looking online for prices and they are conspicuously absent from any sites. That’s the catch, initial outlay looks like its around 3,500, which is kinda’ an issue (read prohibitively expensive). Oh well. I’ll settle for lusting after that iPod touch.
Update: Oh, and they are only sold in LA. For me, its probably for the better.
Update 2: Interesting video…
