At least the low center of gravity will be a lot more stable than some of the monstrosities out there already. Almost 400km.s to a charge? Sounds a quite reasonable distance compared to a Priapus.

Think I'd stick to a Spyder for shyte weather conditions though! given the options

hahaha yesss mummmm

yeah man that was all I was saying, pretty much, except in a very brief way haha.
I'd be interested to see some crash test footage of it. Might have a hunt. It is amazing what they can do with roll cages these days but as someone pointed out without the harnesses (which are actually illegal to wear on the road) and a helmet you're going to lunch your head on the cage for sure in something that compact in a crash.
Then again, we're talking worst case scenario and you're not going to come out well in any vehicle if you stack up enough against it.

Distance is good comparatively but in my mind I calculate a trip to Chch and back as being something I'd want to do without losing a day to charging, so from that aspect to me is seems city and outer burb mobile only.
That link the other day somewhere on here of that super fast charging would fix that though.

Good point. Wonder how it would go on that course linked on the other page in the wet...

Quite so. It is a racist vehicle. How do "big boned" people use it?
Burn it!

The pint-sized roadster, which accelerates to 100kmh faster than a Ferrari 458 Italia supercar, drew a few stares.

See? Just like a Ferrari!

You could neither cart nor start a family in that thereby making it a true wankers car

Here is a better looking one although i will not be changing the bike for one anytime soon.

The silver one does look better.

But see it's name (number plate) SMERA - I may be wrong but I am sure that is something a woman has done to her most private regions once a year or so to ensure they are in good working shape ............

Thats what the seatbelt and airbags are for.
Have you been in a car since the 1970's? They have evolved past the old land rover design. You can even buy curved soft volvos now.

I had the same thought - but then I thought, "Fuck your biased - look it up". So I did.......and was surprised.

Fact is we all think its a pile of shit - because it looks like shit, and priced like shit.

Unfortunately we are all wrong and it's not a pile of shit........it just looks like one. Which means we are all biased.

Sit down and have a think about how non-bikers think about motorbikes......

- It so dangerous
- I wouldn't be on that thing at 250+kph
- What happens in a crash
- If you go around a corner fast you will just fly off

Sound familiar
Hate breeds hate. I now realise that.
If this ugly car wants to come to NZ, who am I to say no to it? I think wheel standing an FZ1 or filtering through traffic on a GB400 @ 100+kph is fun. Last thing I want is some nancy telling me what I like is dangerous to me.

So who yanked my chain, the nancy's who are on their period and want to cramp others from doing something that research tells me is quite safe.

Nothing to do with safety or looks. It's the blatant anti-motorcycle stance of WCC. Which none of you give a fuck about. Or the local bike cops who just want bikes off the road, full stop. My bias is against the cunts with the big pens who don;t want us riding. And cunts who think they can leverage off the positives of motorcycling without adressing the actual issues around the immaturity of NZ's road users.

Now, you get what I was meaning in post #1; but your words are betterer.
