Actually, it physically has a 2.4gal tank, but is electronically limited to shut off the fuel pump at 1.7gal in order to qualify for the California incentives as an electric vehicle, which have a formula for determining how much of a vehicles range comes from electric alone. It’s a weird limiter, but thankfully it can…

I love desert tan just because it doesn’t show dust.

Maybe, but my CVs have only failed at the outboard joint (in the wheel hub), so in case a lift would make that worse. We’ll see how long they hold out. I got new CVs a few months before the lift, and the first set lasted 60k miles, so we’ll see if the lift shortens that. 

No, Primitive Racing and Rallitek. 

Yep. Subaru sent their engineers to my local dealer installing 2" Primitive Racing lift kits, and didn’t see any issues maintaining the full suspension warranty. YMMV though.

Great question.

That’s great if you have a large pool of vehicles to choose from. If not, a PPI is a great tool for gauging cost. 

Not really, nearly every new Subaru in my area is lifted. I lifted my Outback so I could fit AT tires and take it deeper into off-road trails than I could with stock tires. 

Who adds a lift kit to a friggin Outback,

What a time to be alive when we can sit around complaining that inline four cylinder engines are ONLY making 325hp...

The FCA “E-torque” system available on the Wrangler and Ram trucks is exactly this. They delete the standard 12V starter motor coupled to the flywheel and the alternator, and instead use a 48V motor/generator on accessory belt that handles both starting the car and charging the battery. There’s a VERY small lithium…

Challenge accepted. 

They’re actually really easy to drive. You don’t need the top-end turbo models to hit 40mph on the trails (which feels like Mach 4). On most trails, you’ll be doing about 20mph, and it’s just like driving a car, except you’re soaking up terrain that you wouldn’t believe any car can handle.

It really depends on what you want to do. I’d argue an old Wrangler or Samurai isn’t very well suited to the high speed desert running that the top-spec RZRs are built for.

Those Tomcars START at $36k for a two seat model.

Why exactly? The Roxor is larger than a typical SxS, so it won’t fit on as many trails. The Roxor doesn’t come standard with lockers, like most SxS’s do.

The one pictured above doesn’t have the factory roll cage installed yet. They’re shipped with the cages off in order to fit in a crate. The cages are required by law (at least in my state all SxS’s are required to have them). 

Having spent a lot of time in Taiwan, I absolutely would NOT daily a scooter there. I watched a lady get hit by a semi truck at full speed on one. The aftermath was very graphic, and she didn’t make it.

Yeah, I’ve been to Taiwan, and everyone there gets around the congestion problems by riding scooters, which are about the same or cheaper than this thing and have a lot more power. 

I haven’t been to China, are these actually driven on the roads there? I have a hard time believing that 1200W is accurate, given that standard electric golf karts have at least 3X that much power.
