    Seems a lot of car manufactures trying their hand at bikes forget to put a rider on em when chucking em in the wind tunnel.

    It has potential, but it looks far more like its made for the showroom than to actually be ridden.

    I hope they bring out a touring version of that cause I'd crush my balls by just riding it down the driveway.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    They are sticking to cars, they simply 'rented out' the Lotus name to another company that wants to build this

    Lotus should be more careful with their rent boys.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Bearing in my mind you don't buy a Lotus for practicality & reliability I'm keen to see if it makes production. Needs a decent paint job & free goggles with every bike.
