swap out the electric power plant with one from a burgman and you got something.

Strictly city at top speed of 30mph, couldn't use it here because the city is two miles down the road and the main road is fourlane at 55mph.

I would like to get in on a "beta" test of some of these vehicles. Maybe be the one to drive them around and show off the engineering and looks.

Well of course I would have to have a couple of young hot babes in bikini's or skimpy outfits to prove an old dog can still get'm with the purchase of this new outrageous gas saver!

Looks like a yuppy's wet dream,, If I cant ride a 2 wheeled motorcycle my next dream is a 2 seater, standard trans, drop top. Underpowered is FINE with me, because power covers the sins of poor driving. Working a gutless little car thru corners & not scrubbing off too much speed is Driving. But, finding that car pretty much means looking at OLD sports cars & that means Big $$$,, so, I spose Ill hafta hunt down an uglied up old Miata.. a pretty one would cost too much,
If I cant have a bike, & I cant have a little car, then my next choice is a pickup. & I happen to own a low powered one,, an 87 F150 with a 300/straight 6 & a 4 speed.
Driving anything with an automatic takes "Operator" out of the picture.

Here is something I could actually build up in my garage...and it goes 52mph for the city, seen this on youtube and here is his page on it...

evalbum sounds familiar, I think he is on one of the Harley forums i'm in, but not sure.

My friend john has given up on the virago I give him, so I might go get it back and see about looking up some local used marine batteries and an electric motor and try to convert the virago to electric.
