....I want one! But I don't live in California, waaahhhh....

Holy crow!

And it's only estimated to be 26k or so? As high a price as that is, I would have expected at least double that!

Man, I so hope those mass-produce...

There are cars which get zero mpg. Of course they use esoteric stuff like compressed air, so have no gallons of fuel.

Well, yeah, there's an alternative in that case.

But this case... Wow.

While the car is a great idea, I need something with a backseat for my child. And preferably something that doesn't look quite so weird.

Still, they're on the right track. I am very much in favor of gasoline alternatives, we should've started on this stuff thirty years ago.

Insufficient Legroom, check
No airbag, check
Insufficient boot spave (all thos bits were rather flat) check
Lacking sufficient space for crumple zones, check.

Overall rating, Rather you than me.

If you check the safety information, it has airbags- in fact, it has airbags designed better than those in most passenger vehicles.

Legroom is personal- looks like plenty to me.

The website says there is room in the back for 15 bags of groceries, or two seven foot surf boards and accessories- and if driving alone, passenger's seat could be used for storage.

Crumple zones- it uses different safety measures, and is also registered as a motorcycle- so definitely the safest motorcycle I've ever seen.

Spending $12 on gas a month instead of $120? If you drove it for 20 years, you would pay for it in gas savings alone- and if you take into account having to have a vehicle and the price difference between it and a new vehicle of the gas-guzzling variety, well, depending on the vehicle, it might pay for itself in less than a year! Mine would pay for the price difference between it and sticker price for a brand-new version of my current vehicle in about 4 years.

Oops, my bad

I have an inside leg of 37 inches, that thing ain't big enough...

[Saydrah]

37 inches?

Geez, that's most of me! I'm only 64 inches tall, total!

I spend most of my time out on patrol with a chap who's about 5'4, we make a fine couple to look at.
