"Do you really think that this scooter is significant? Go ask a laid-off Bethlehem Steel worker what he thinks of IT. Take it to an Indian reservation and ask how many lives it will change. What a waste of resources."  motohio  "Gee, a compact, open, pollution-free vehicle that would eliminate congestion in urban spaces? AND it goes about 12 mph? Guess what, folks: Most of us already owned something like this when we were 8 years old. It's called a 'bicycle.'" bigtimecynic  "I, too am disappointed. For $3000, I could buy a car and not this gangly awkward ... TOY! Yes, that's what it is. IT is in no way revolutionary."  whidbey65  "I acknowledge the technology that went into IT, but until that technology is applied in a way that I can put my family of six in ONE unit and go to the zoo, I'll keep my Yukon."  cccubed  "Can you imagine locking down this $3000 piece of machinery which can be carted off by any male of average strength? What kind of reasonable security could be provided to an owner? I wouldn't use one of these based on security issues alone."  LDCAlbright  "Who the heck is touting this so much?! This is all propaganda from people who have a vested interest in the success of IT. They're saying it will replace the car? That cities will be redesigned because of it? It's a glorified electric wheel chair, for Pete's sake!"  birdboy0022K  "At 12 miles an hour, IT is faster than pedestrians, but slower than cars. If we put it on the sidewalk, it will terrorize unsuspecting walkers. And if we put it on the street, it will be SUV roadkill."  ravensrule92  "It'll never do. They'll have to build cities around it. The ones we have now are too cold/hot/wet/smoggy, etc. I'll never give up my automobile climate control system."  babernathy01  'Give IT a Chance' "Take it for what it's worth  a neat advancement in technology. Will it change the world? Not yet. Will it help people who otherwise may have difficulty getting around? Yes."  1969PaceCar "This certainly will find a niche  probably a good and useful one  but it is by no means the world-changer it was hyped to be."  LDCAlbright "Everything starts out small. I give credit to Kamen for creating this, because once people see it and experience it, their sight is broadened and better advancements will come from it."  CrassusD "If IT can take me up and down the hills of San Francisco all day, I'll buy it. That is the true test."  mportable "A 17 mph vehicle that doesn't tip over could be a boon to our elderly population. Before we condemn it to the technological junk heap, let's give IT a chance."  newsjunkieoverloaded What do you think of 'IT'? Share your thoughts.
