      They're stupid for not adding a removable hardtop & windshield & a few other mods. So it could actually be used as a daily driver = more practical = more incentive to buy one. To save money on gas and cost of a new car.
      If a 🛵 scooter,motorcycle or car company built something similar. They could sell a ton= reliable, low cost, fun to drive, practical commuter, 70+ mpgs.

      I think if a scooter 🛵 or motorcycle company built something similar. Using an aerodynamic weather enclosure with removable hard top & added a 250cc engine. So it could cruise along at 65mph & get 70+,mpgs and sell em new for like $6,000....That they could sell a ton.... It'd be cheap, practical, reliable, fun to drive, low maintenance, could be used year round & safer than a motorcycle. Either gas engine or 120V AC standard 🔌 plug-in electric.
      I wish I wasn't sick and build one myself. Then when people ask me about it. I'd tell them everything it can do & tell them I'd sell it for $6,000 & see how many people want to buy one.

      @another3997 Рік тому

      ​@@SkorpychanThis isn't a "velocar", it's a pedal powered tricycle. You're talking rubbish about being too low to be seen. Morgans aren't that low, certainly no lower than many sports cars like a typical Ferrari or a Lotus. But then potholes are low down, road markings and tree branches lying in the road are low down... yet drivers see them. As a former owner of a Caterham 7, which is very small and low down, I never had any problems being seen. As a recumbent tricycle rider, being much lower than any of these, I have far fewer problems with cars than when I ride on "normal" bikes. Quite the opposite.Drivers NOTICE it.
