So the Kewet came up during the week. http://www.buddyelectric.com/ I guess I'm not the first to consider the resemblance to the old Citicar.

Then there's the old Mechanix Illustrated build it yourself UrbaCar.

You think maybe people aren't looking for progress at all?

it should come with big shoes and a honky nose foam...

dear god those are ugly....


I would roll one. I would make it supercar defeating fast for 0-60mph sprints, and give it just enough high-C rate battery to make it my 2mile commute to work and back.

Sideways or end over end?

Seems I left one out. This is the ugly of uglies, from the car company that championed the wretched car. Topping all others with this look. But then some people must LIKE ugly, as this was the most popular car American Motors (Nee Nash Rambler) ever built.

No screaming.

I've test driven one of the 1992 models in our electromobility lab at uni. It is like driving a stripped down Mercedes smartcar. Ugly as sin, but made from glass fiber and steel tubing, so very simple to do home repairs on.

The pre-norwegian models routinely show up in our local craiglist equivalent for pittances and in non-working order.
I want one :)
