What a POS. These things are going to go for $20K CDN. Why anyone would purchase one of these over a car like a Sprint or something is beyond me. Basically, it was a golf cart with lawnchairs for seats and a fiberglass/plastic body. The thing rattled and banged so much, it was unreal. It had a monster range of around 60KMs, which unless you live in a **small** city, I consider useless.

I found their website as I wanted to show a photo of it, but they still only have “concept drawings”. Oh well, it was the car thing in the middle.

I will admit though, it was kind of a neat sensation driving with no “engine” sound/feel.
