I seen one of these today at a stop light while on my bike. I asked the guy if he heard of Peak Oil.

He said 'what are you talking about'.
I said 'Peak Oil, dude'.

He said, what does 'Peak Oil mean'?
I shouted, 'when we start running out of gas, man'.

Anyhoo, here's the ride! http://www.zenncars.com/

You just found out about those guys now? I'd say you're the one who doesn't know a lot about peak oil. Too busy with Nibiru and creationism.

How well does it hold up to getting hit by another car?

Given the traffic of most cities, how well does it perform getting into traffic without getting hit?

How many people want to kick your ass when they see you in it?

After driving this car, can you still believe you have testicles, or do you now carry a purse?


Those are the typical questions that goes through most mens minds that will keep them from getting this vehicle.

by Sebastian Blanco on Oct 30th 2007

Almost all NEVs in the U.S. are limited by law (and thus by a setting in the car) to 25 mph. In some areas - Montana, for example - the laws are being changed so that these little commuter cars can go 35 mph.

I saw one of these in my local gym parking lot the other day, but I question the practicality.

$20k for a car that tops out at 25 mph? No thanks.

Junk. The only thing drivers get out of this car, is the same warm fuzzy feeling they get when they piss themselves in a wool suit. And no one notices.

[bratticus]

I think that we are so addicted to cars that we will need symbolic ones as a transition to the new age of scarce and expensive energy.

My car is an extension of my penis, and I refuse to let people see me in something that will give people doubts about my masculinity.

Someone with basic mechanics skills and a high school education could build a much better electric car for half of the cost, that is perfectly adequate for the highway and may even get 60-80 miles range depending on choice of donor chassis.

25 mph is Un-American, and jest plain unnatural.

but could they have designed the body? 75 - 90% of the cost / value of a car, is its appearance.

I know I can build an electric car, but it would look like some sort of soap box derby pile of shit.
