Electrobike Pi "human powered hybrid"

This electric bicycle may fill the void between high style and good sense. Pi (clever) is a commuter bike that is missing racks and lights. This popped up in my holiday DWR catalog for only $8000. Top speed of 20MPH. Only slightly better performance than a Segway, but worse than my Record equipped Derosa, depending on how much I had for lunch. My bicycle is cheaper too. On the plus side, Pi comes in Ferrari red, includes a kickstand, oh and an adjustable seat. Is that really a feature? Nicely designed by Marcus Levison-Hays. My opinion is this would look way slicker with some dropped bars or cow horns. Buy one here, oh I won't stop you.
