Will it be reliable though ? Like a Honda ($50 000 !!!????) Civic or Miata ? That is part of a cars legendary status.  

You must be able to find a junked electrical motor somewhere for a few extra watts.

Did that Klingon utility knife come from Alibaba too ?

Not bad IF you are allowed to use it in your neighbourhood. Between this, a bicycle, and an ebike you can eliminate some cold starts and short stop and go trips from your regular car.

Of course modern cars are way better,but pre WWII cars were quite sturdy. City streets were not well planned for cars and many streets were cobblestone. Out side of city limits most of the roads were unpaved.

That thing is ugly.

Not a plug in ? Fail. Its hard to recoup the cost of a hybrid unless it can be partialy powered by cheapo wall sourced electricity. And the non removable seats just murder the practicality of a minivan.

I am wary of anyone who uses a steering wheel cover.

It would have been even better with a rope wrapped around it.

Interesting how electric cars are bringing back RWD and rear engine (motor).

200hp but now heavier.

Minivans killed these things.

Why not sell the Micra in the USA ? Its the cheapest car in Canada for less than $11k canuck bucks (basic version, MT, no AC, roll windows !).  Right now people might be wary to spend a lot on a car yet shy away from buying used.  Or for families that can afford it, a second car. 

$1000 to own two junky engines instead of one.

The only thing that matters is the torque where the tire meets the road.

From a basic utility transportation view, they have to start competing with electric bikes. And some electric bikes are closer to scooter/moped than bicycle.

Don’t block the sun, reflect it. If you live in a hot deserty place buy some white paint and paint dark rocks that are exposed to the sun.

Working on a construction site listening to a roaring diesel and breathing exhaust all day long this is an improvement.

Most of the time for most drivers, 90% of the time just driving around here and there, easygoing, laa dee daa whatever, you don’t need a lot of power. So low power demand, keep the revs low for good fuel eco. So when you do need power, the engine is not tuned for low end power, it needs revs. It just doesn’t have the…
