Sorry if this is in the wrong section, Not sure if this is scooter related or not!?!? Personally, I like it. Electric is not my thing but, if this had a Motorcycle engine I would be all over it. Maybe a 600cc conversion would be a neat project. Just being that small of a vehicle without making noise is a concern IMO. Gotta love the bicycle helmet Safety FIRST !!!!!

I like it but 7,000 pounds it seems a bit heavy for such a tiny vehicle.

He kept falling off a scooter? I think he meant "I'm too damn STUPID to be riding on a scooter."
Next, bike helmet won't do him any good. He's also too damn stupid to latch the thing. Plus he sure does a LOT of looking everywhere else except forward as he's booking (well, so to speak) along the road.
Next-next, that itty-bitty thing weighs more than my '78 Olds Sedan! Oh. Scooter, he meant 7000 British dollars. Silly fella!
Otherwise, like he said, fun toy. Cute. But I'd far rather have my Peej than a Twizy.

That is why I am no fan of Electric vehicles yet. Try and push a Tesla with a dead battery out of traffic Calm down Kat it's just in good fun. Granted the idiot driver is trying to hard at being funny and failing. A small commuter vehicle is a cool idea in theory... Kind of a scootfighter. Anyone else notice the term Quad Cycle being used? Someone went to college and got paid to coin that phrase. The lambo doors are cool.. Aren't they? I'll wait for the chinese knockoff........ Peej ?

Honest opinion? Too heavy too ugly too slow too expensive to repair and/ or replace the 6000 pound battery,,, too many cancer causing free radical ions cruising inside that thing,,, needs a hybusa engine,,, just sayin

correction on pushing a Tesla why, it has a gauge like a fuel gas gauge and they have a 300 mile charge. So what the difference between pushing that or a full size SUV if you run out of fuel what ever you use who'd fault is it the cars.

That was my thought too Cyborg (bussa engine) I was thinking more of a CBR 600 just because without the battery this could be a hair raising little go kart...... It would be a very cool project if money was not an issue........ Heck a 200 cc Preditor engine may do the job... Pull start and all.... I was just joking around about the Tesla but, since you asked Crawford, I would push/pull a SUV with another car....A little bumper damage would be acceptable IMO. With A Tesla I would be more worried about body damage as the price point is a bit excessive..... (Granted I would never own either one) Lack of fuel is not the only reason a vehicle would be pushed IMO.
