I like it but it needs a bigger motor.

Bigger balloonier tires and that could be quite the rock crawler.

"It would be legal for me on the streets of L.A." To be street legal in most states, the speedy spider buggy would need to be a 3 wheeler, classified as a motorcycle. A four wheel vehicle capable of over 20 mph will require a crazy amount of safety equipment. -If the spider buggy had a published max speed of 20 mph, it would be street legal under Federal Law as a "Neighborhood Electric Vehicle". If I was them, I would build a 20mph max version (upgradeable to 30 mph). -There is also a separate category in Federal law called the "low-speed vehicle", with a max speed of 25 mph. To legally go that extra 5 mpg on the street, the vehicle must be equipped with "equipped with headlamps, stop lamps, turn signal lamps, taillamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes, rearview mirrors, windshields, seat belts, and vehicle identification numbers". Know your laws before spending your money. www.nhtsa.gov/cars/rules/rulings/lsv/lsv.html |

Indeed it has a few to manny wheels to fall under current laws....... Technology often surpasses legislation---- Heck you are begging to get pulled over on a public street with this ride, Maybe for a ticket or maybe out of curiosity---- It's still VERY cool... A floating monocock frameless vehicle....... Very cool engineering for sure, The price point maybe a bit excessive though.... Assuming it could meet silly antiquated road laws. Add a remote control or "drone" like qualities and this little offroad go kart (for lack of a better term) could be just what NASA needs to explore other worlds.... JMHO. Just a thought, How fun would this be to drive on the moon?  ? |
