US carmaker General Motors is joining with scooter maker Segway to make a new type of two-seat electric vehicle.

The prototype, which will be debuted in New York, is aimed at urban driving. GM aims to start making them by 2012.

The vehicle, named Puma, has a top speed of 35mph and can go as far as 35 miles on a single charge. It will use lithium-ion batteries.

GM, having been bailed out by the US government, is looking to smaller vehicles to secure its future.

Puma stands for personal urban mobility and accessibility.

GM = bankrupcy
 
americans will not buy it cuz they will say is "small and weak and dumb and for pussyes" and them will complaing to the carmakers for not making fuel efficient cheap vehicles
 
I've got a motorized nag
taking me for a drag
leave the others far behind
Baby I ain't braggin'
my anachronistic wagon's
two millenia ahead of it's time

Talking 'bout my chariot
no it's not street legal
but it gets me where I wanna go
Climb aboard my chariot
when ya hear me come a-rumbling
then everybody wants to know
Where'd you get that chariot

Yeah, talking about my chariot
Got all my horse power
in two big wheels of fun
Climb aboard my chariot
you can be my second
'cause I'm gladiator number one
 
Looks ridiculously dangerous. Goodbye GM!

I'm offended.



There is no boobs on there what the hell is your problem? I would never buy this piece of shit.

Also yea this couldn't be worse than a motorcycle....
 
I think Stern will like the Canadian Version



 
That motorizzle shizzle be off the hizzle.

You better recognizzle.

You little bizzle.
 
The question is how did ZT find that? Did he specifically search the net for gay guys or what?
 
it was in a folder on his desktop labeled "hunks/guys I'd like to sleep with"
 
I wonder if it can get enough braking force to stop on a skid. The only way these things can accelerate or decelerate, is to lever the weight of the car against the torque of the wheels. It has to lean forward to accelerate and lean back to stop. Maybe it has some small wheels to keep it from tipping over when you slam the brakes.

In general, I think a motorcycle does two wheels in much better style.

I'm not american and I still wouldn't buy this. Frankly it does look stupid as hell. I wish car manufacturers would learn that it is possible make a car that looks normal yet is fuel efficient and environmentally friendly...

Only because it's true! All the more reason they should have been left to go bankrupt.
 
Nobody. They just needed a way to launder some of their bailout money into their own executive suit pockets.
 
Is this sidewalk and parking lot safe?? Cuz I'm pretty sure 99.9% of garbage trucks would mistake this car for a Garbage Can. Imagine your on a hot date then suddenly your blind date is covered in shit and puke

Cept its not going to be filled with garbage. And who the hell puts shit and puke in their garbage anyways? And why would you use that car to take some one on a date? Also garbage trucks can't think for themselves...
