I will be seriously considering buying this when it shows up. By then there may be other vixens to tempt my wallet, 8) but this has everything I could ask for or require in an EV.

It's got 4 wheels (counting the steering wheel), so that's 2 too many to be a motorcycle in my book.

Where did you get the $23 k figure? I think guy in the video said 22k pounds, so closer to $40 k. Which is very expensive.

 

[tno]

the price was mentioned in Gizmodo

$18k for the Hybrid model
$23k for the all electric model

both models are propelled by dual hub motors
the Hybrid model uses a gas engine to recharge the batteries

Not likely :wink: Motorcycle (in my book) = 2 wheels only. 3 wheels =! motorcycle (plus one more for the steering wheel! It's practically a car )
