It's an interesting idea, but we're having a hard enough time of moving people away from huge vehicles over to tiny cars; why would they make the jump to an even tinier vehicle that may lack the "coolness" factor of a traditional motorcycle?

Yea, and consider the number of people... who suck at driving a car. Give these same people a motorcycle... they won't be able to get anywhere... not in one piece anyways.
Personally, I'm a good driver - one of the more smarter ones.
However, I don't trust myself with a motorcycle either. Yet, if I were to own one, that'd motivate me to travel around more. Having a car is nice - but traveling around with it can be a pain in the ass... especially to large cities where parking is an issue.
