With Lit Motors C1, cars have become 'unnecessary evil'. http://litmotors.com/c-1/ I am not a paid blogger or something like that for Lit Motors, I just hope to see a faster adoption of these and other bikes like them. This will make my five mile commute to work take less than 10 minutes rather than the usual 20-45 minutes. MPG is just one benefit of these bikes, reduction in congestion, denser communities due to less parking space etc are some of the numerous other benefits. Cars may improve their mpg in the future, but with their size, they can never have the other benefits. Car should never be the vehicle to use for a single passenger!

Er, of course, the same is true even without the "Lit Motors C1"...

Denser communities, walking, biking, and good public transit FTW.
