Crude Quote supposedly from Kamen

Quote:
"Cars are great for going long distances," Kamen says, "but it makes no sense at all for people in cities to use a 4,000-lb. piece of metal to haul their 150-lb. asses around town."
This from the Time article

http://www.time.com/time/business/ar...6660-1,00.html

I really doubt that this quote came from Kamen. This is probably some journalist adding some stuff. He is smart enough not to say this nation wide.

Anyway for "IT" I was a little disappointed because I thought that he would introduce his new revolutionary engine that would end the fossil fuel age. But instead, IT runs on batteries. So basically it is $3,000 stripped downed iBot. I am sorry but for a max speed of 17 mph and a max distance about 20 miles it was definitely over-hyped. Good for the city I suppose, but not what I was hopping for. But hey maybe when the time comes next year he will increase the speed and the distance, and maybe add his hydrogen engine.
