The maintenance will end up solely on the user and no longer on the power companies. So there will be a bunch of yahoos running around maintaining peoples home power systems, because many people cannot turn a screwdriver. I don't see the savings?

You shouldn't be riding vehicles on the sidewalk anywhere. A bicycle – motorized or not – is classed as a vehicle in all 50 states. Vehicles belong on the road. Whether you need registration for a vehicle is dependent upon local laws. So it depends where in Illinois you want to ride.
Dealers see varying demand for electric vehicles, expect better sales in 2012
in truth, it's an important topic.
i've also been surprised by hybrids starting to move.
it would seem reasonable to have considerable discussion about what sound to make.
and, have the sound indicate the velocity of the vehicle.
any time something like this comes up, you'll hear idiotic ideas.
and complaints that the topic has come up.
and people who just like to listen to themselves.
This is a good thing.
I wouldn't consider an electric vehicle because I live 35 miles from work. It's just not a practical idea for me to depend on a souped up golf cart to drive 70 miles a day round trip. If I was in the market for one, it wouldn't be the Volt. I won't purchase a GM or Chrysler product. They begged for tax dollars, claiming to be 'too big to fail' and they produce an inferior product to begin with. If I was in the market, I would consider the Leaf once it's been out for a couple of years (I never buy a first year run of any vehicle). But, I've had good luck with Nissan through the years.

Are you inventing a perpetual motion? Gaining energy out of nothing? Doesn’t work – contradicts with the 1st law of thermodynamics.
With this system, the car still needs to taken out of service for battery swapping. You lose a very big advantage of electric traction. Long proven are overhead wire power, for trams, trains, trolleybuses, and third rail power for trains, these supply power directly to the vehicle while in service, this cannot be done with oil.
Yeah it's like voting in the Dems in '06 to end the war, which they never did, then voting them in again.

Well, Mummy & Daddy say that the Gruesome Twosome – Cammie & Cleghorn are only allowing the increase in taxation, which, let one be honest, only affects you pauper types, is simply down to lining their own boudoir with luxury items, so that they may canoodle freely without the day to day, run of the mill, boring job of running the country.
But, that aside, Mummy also says that all this electric vehicle (whoever heard of such a silly idea, electric vehicle) stuff, is just another way of punishing the lower beings of which, we are not, so we should not worry!
My custom 12 litre Bentley would not run on electricity anyway! The refrigeration units, where I keep my bubbly might do!

It is not corporations, it is our lack of regulating them. Of course Chrysler is going to move to Mexico, as it can compete better due to cheaper labor. It is the nature of the beast, the only way we can compete in a real free market in such a way is to turn our country into a third world nation where we are willing to work for beans.
This is why we need regulation, and it is also why we need to throw out the corporate whores from congress.

Everywhere except the United States. For some reason, the machines you speak of aren't sold in the United States. The ones that are actually here aren't being given up on the cheap unless they are cheap Chinese imports.
Not sure about the moped style but the first machine that comes to mind is the Aprilia RS50 (Restricted). That's kinda way outside the price range though.
Then there's the Yamaha TZR.
Motohispania has the low powered manual machines.
See if you can find anyone that has an old Honda NS.
The last machine I can think of that probably isn't worth it but may guide you in the right direction is this;
I can't think of anything under $300 that would be street legal unless you make it street legal, (adding turn signals, tires and mirrors) like a cheap dirt bike.
This doesn't answer your question but it does give you some ideas. Good luck.
Charging your car can get annoying. People get lazy to even plug-in their cell phone, what makes you think their gonna charge their car after they park-it in the Garage? However the benefits far outweigh the costs. Electric Cars get $.02 cents a mile, $6.75 to Fully Charge. 150 MPG!! Thats 5X’s the MPG of a regular gasoline car. Electric Cars should improve in range thus charging will lessen to about once a week. I personally don’t mind charging my car everyday. It’s fun.
