Optibike OB1 Does Not Come With Astromech Droid

Star Wars fans will get the reference above, but that’s not the main point of this story. The 2009 Optibike OB1 is an electric bicycle that is powered by a lithium-ion battery, boasting a GPS to help you stay true to your destination, while its built-in PDA is able to keep track of the vehicle’s performance – hopefully it is waterproof to a certain extent since you can never be too sure when the heavens are going to open up and pour down their blessings whenever you head to the great outdoors. The two hour battery life ought to be sufficient for intra-city use, although having exhausted it, you can always rely on your two legs to keep you moving. Only two dozen OB1s will be manufactured this year, so be prepared to break the bank if you want to bring one of these puppies home.
