You would have to remember to keep it charged up wouldn't you?

They're a bit gimmicky.
If anything they'd be more useful for a car if you were caught out, but i've had a totally flat battery on the bike before but it bump started so easily it wasn't really an issue.
You can get them for mobile phones too.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
