    Michael Tseng is finishing up his five years in design school, and offers as his senior thesis the Mopha scooter, which uses an iPod as its "key." To start it up, you place your iPod into a dock that's located just above the handlebars. The scooter then reads the iPod's unique serial number and starts the engine. As you ride, the music on your iPod plays through speakers built into the seat. You can't buy one yet, as Michael is still looking for those key initial investors. My only question is this: Can I drive that thing around Boston without getting beat up?[Via Engadget]
