The Tango says it will double freeway capacity, enable exponentially more capacity for urban parking, and go 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, and tops out at 120 mph...all starting at $18k.
"...the more typical drive to work, consumers may be interested in the vehicle's range. Although the Tango can be built with a fuel cell or internal combustion engine, conventional lead-acid batteries work well for most commuters. Its 80-mile range is nearly 4 times the distance the average commuter travels per day. With high-tech batteries, range could exceed 150 miles per charge."
Even though it looks like a box of animal crackers this thing seats two people and honestly looks like it would be fun to drive.
other side conveniences...
when your skateboard loses a wheel...these are interchangeable
when you can't find a place to fit that decapitated cranium, the backseat will hold one (if it's small)
the cup holder will hold the 6 oz chocolate drink, but if you spill it you'll electrify yourself
odd, to me, that they named it the Tango...after all, once a girl sees you in this thing you're not going to get a date and you're definitely not going to be doing the Tango!
Good news...if it breaks down or runs out of battery juice 3 of them will fit in the back of a Ford F-150 and still have room for the farmer's dog.

I rode a bike for several years...not because I care so much for the environment, but rather because I like riding a bike...and once you get used to strapping everything you NEED on your back - it get's easy to learn to place it a tight area. I mainly like the Tango because it could eventually mean easier traffic flow, and less room needed for parking. Both conveniences...not necessities.

Oh the inconvenience! I'll be the first hypocrite to admit the thought of something like this seems stupid, even after I decry how conventional vehicles are depleting our resources faster than we can ever hope to renew them...

Yeah...it's not much for hauling stuff...and I forgot to mention...you'll have to plug it in once you get where you are going!!
