I am not a fan of man rated solid fuel rocket engines BUT, a Launch Abort System makes the system MUCH safer. http://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/files/orion_las_fact_sheet.pdf

I am an American and proud to be so but it is becoming difficult not to be embarrassed to be American.
The caliber of people elected in the US is shameful. What is worse, these idiot elected officials represent the public so what does that make the public. Idiots.
As far as the bicycle tax, this brings to mind a favorite Beatles Tune, Taxman:
If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.
I would buy one of these before I would buy a 4-stroke.
I watch people kick their 4-strokes for 10 minutes after they have killed the battery. I kick my 1986 Yamaha IT200S 3 times and I am ready to go.
I would miss the sound of my 2-stroke but but if I had to choose between the 4-stroke and the electric, it would be the electric. I can always put a 2-stroke sound track in my iPod.
