Well it could be they're business strategy. They're answer to the fuel crisis GM invested $50 million in partnership with Segway North America to develope and produce The PUMA, a 2 seat, 2 wheeled, electric segway with a top speed of 35 mph and a range of 35 miles @ 25 mph. All this with a selling price about 1/3 of the average car or about $8,000. No wonder Obama had GM's CEO fired.
