Again, I'm not one that's after the cool look or retro look and just want reliable transportation (don't have a car), but the revopower.com front wheel engine, if EVER RELEASED, looks to be a good option. It's a 2 stroke, so obviously there's not a total ban on those and it does meet all Calif. regulations. No telling what the price will be if they ever release it, but it will have to stand the test of regular use to prove if it will be any good or not. I personally don't want to spend $800 for something that's not tested for the long haul.
