In fact they did. If you search, you can probably find links to articles by people who worked on the project (and others over the years), with reports of road tests &c. I think I've linked several such here.

So we have Dean "my stupid 2-wheel thing is going to change the world" Kamen doing something that was done decades ago, and hyping it as a revolutionary breakthrough? I do think Stirling-engine hybrids would be nice to have (as I've perhaps too often said), but I hate to see someone feeding his ego by taking credit for other people's ideas.
