Now, is that a 30-mile range with the iPod plugged in?

    Why are NEVs restricted on roads where the speed limit is greater than 35mph, but bicycles are not? Because a good rider (eg, not me) on a decent bike can crack 35mph?

    There's a need for this kind of vehicle, especially in urban and suburban areas where walking isn't viable and public transit doesn't exist. The problem is that there's no market for this need. People are not going to pay for something like this when a normal car is more practical, and it would be a hard sell for livery/hire or transit fleets. It also doesn't address the real problem: that we build communities that make things like this necessary. If most people cannot walk most of the places they need to go when the weather is decent, then your community is not sustainable and cars like this only prolong the problem.

    Wow, 25mph this must be 1918! I mean maybe 50mph would be passable, but this speed is a joke. Just buy a bike it is cheaper. If you want to take the kids to the soccer field get them bikes to. POINTLESS!!!!
