For those that can handle it the electric bikes, scooters, unicycles have crossed from toys to amazing long-distance transport vehicles.

Long-distance meaning under a 15-mile commute. Each way. At around 30 mph.

I would have loved to have any of them to get from my house to the train station and then from the train to my office. We could have cut a multiple car family down to a single car.

But they're not carrying a family and they're not enclosing you in the weather and you better be able to balance and stand. But for commuter vehicles for healthy people they look great. Until it rains or snows.
