    If anyone is interested, the license plate at 5:30 on the right hand side is a real automotive plate for the State of Michigan, it was issued in 1976 in celebration of America's 200th year of independence. We called them "bicentennial plates".

      Alternatively, planning your business around a low volume, high quality, visually intriguing product is smart thinking. Selling at that high of a price point practically eliminates most cost conscious buyers and lends credibility to a bespoke artisanal craftsmanship which could potentially be appealing to the wealthier crowd. As a side gig, selling two to six in a year could be a fun way to earn extra cash- as a more full time business, selling seven to 35 in a year could probably be good money.

    ... as member of the velomobile commuity since the 90th and velomobile producer in the 00-years I have seen so many realy fantastic electric concepts and start ups with low energy consumption comming ... and going (with more or less active 'support' from then automotive industry) ... Hotzenblitz, CityEl, Loremo, Twike, velomos from $4 to 10k ... suitable for nearly all low- und midrange transport jobs ... moving them generates exciting reactions everywhere ... but when it comes to buy ... human beings seem to love and go for $50k, 2.5 tonns city 4x4 monster trucks ...

    The trouble is they are so niche, they usually rely on startup business models...with the risk yiu will never actually get your machine.
    Then there's individuality...each manufacturer making their own bespoke parts, which will be hard to source if the company fails.

I’ve looked all over the internet and I’ve found nothing like my design. It should be fantastic for climbing hills. My design allows for full 4 wheel lock. I built one in 2016 using 1” perforated steel tube which made it very heavy. I had to stop working on it after a return of Lyme disease. Anyone within 200 miles of Saint Paul Minnesota have 1” square tube aluminum to sell inexpensively. Preferably 1/8” wall.

    Queridas amizades, sim, Paulo de Tarso diz em seu Livro aos Gálatas 6.14-16: "Longe esteja de mim, gloriar-me a não ser na Cruz de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, pela qual o mundo está crucificado para mim, e eu para o mundo..." A cruz de nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo, é o único instrumento, dado por Deus, pelo qual podemos manter o mundo longe de nossos corações, isto é, no chão muito abaixo de nossos pés, e aqui ainda fica mais interessante - nos coloca desprendido, a meio caminho do reino-paraíso-céu, como o criminoso crucificado, que tendo a vitima inocente ao seu lado direito, descobriu a lonjura tanto do céu quanto da terra, mas bendito seja Deus, o humanoDeusJesusCristo estava bem ali, ao alcance de sua voz-suplica: "Senhor, lembra-te de mim, quando entrares no teu Reino." E, ainda repetimos; estando com os pés pendurados, cravado no madeiro, impossibilitando-o de caminhar neste mundo, e os braços pregados também em cruz, não lhe permitindo 'tocar' os céus, pode dirigir com sua arrependida vós; resoluta, intrépida, podendo ouvir da boca do crucificado do meio, relatado no Livro de Lucas 23.42,43: "Ainda hoje estarás comigo no Paraíso...", só por grande exercício empático, é que podemos entender superficialmente, quão inimaginavelmente foram os sofrimentos de Cristo ali por nós... Vejam como é lindo e consolador, quando percebemos que Ele está, como crucificado, junto a nós quando ocupamos em glória a mesma Cruz que Ele um dia ocupou, e sobre a horrível cruz venceu o mundo e aquele que detinha até então o poder da morte e do inferno como relatado está no Livro aos Hebreus 2.14,15 e, no livro do Apocalipse 1.18: "E, visto como os filhos participam da carne e do sangue, também ele-Cristo, participou das mesmas coisas, para que, pela morte, aniquilasse o que tinha o império da morte, isto é, o Diabo, e livrasse todos os que, com medo da morte, estavam por toda a vida sujeitos à servidão. / Eu-Jesus fui morto, mas eis aqui estou vivo para todo o sempre. Amém! E tenho as chaves da morte e do inferno." Entendamos que não é a nossa Cruz, como diz Paulo, é a Cruz de Cristo, a Cruz da VITÓRIA... Se nosso Senhor ali triunfou, nós também em tudo triunfaremos, lembremo-nos que Ele-Cristo é o humanoDeusJesusoEmmanuelDeusconosco‼ Bom tudo a todos, sempre na doce companhias d'aquEle que vive para interceder por nós‼🌹😷
