Slick. I live really close to work (~3km) and I think they'd be the hot ticket for commuting in the Spring/Summer/Fall.
Since it's electric, are they legal on the bike trails/paths?

Because it will likely make almost no noise I think a bicycle bell would be a good idea to warn pedestrians if riding on an established path.

It should have a horn on it I would think?
It can indeed go anywhere a bike can go in BC... Though, in BC I don't think anyone enforces any of the rules for bicycles, for example, you really aren't allowed on the sidewalk, unless the municipality has made a bylaw specifying that you can.

It does have a horn, but that would be a less than polite way of announcing your presence on a multi-use trail.
I'm gonna mention the bell idea to Brad.

It depends on the method of using it, a friendly beep - beep should be ok? (except if there were a horse you may startle)

I prefer the dixie horn, though it may take up too much juice from the battery
Imagine blasting through an intersection (at 32 km/h) blaring the tune from the Dukes of Hazard. You could paint the thing orange

Of course it may adversely impact your standing with the honey's.

Ougah would be good too
He'd be popular out on South Fraser Way the next time the Canucks win a playoff game.
