Just think how fast you'd be without it. I take the kids out in the 2 man chariot and its probably 75-80 with them and stuff in it...yeah, you better have gears to spare and time to get to your destination.

Okay, no kidding, why is this better than panniers and a backpacking tent? Other than the cool factor, I honestly don't get it. But then again, I'm probably missing something essential (like the fact that it has a motor).

(Other than the cool factor).

:no: ....never sell short the cool factor. That's the only reason I posted it. I think I need to take up bike camping just to own it.:cool:
