      So you’d freeze your ass off in this?
      And
      I think it would blow off our gravel roads

      My negative thoughts for the day

        The turbulence after passing a Highway Tractor head on might make it spin like a top.

        Like an empty Tim Horton's cup.

          Thank goodness. Using electricity produced from thin air to charge batteries is brilliant.

          I love it when ppl exhort how great electric vehicles are. Being fuelled by electricity produced, for the most part, from coal.

            Likely uses less power than my first cell phone. Where do you put the skid tank when you go to feed the thirsty versy?

              They will really be able to puff out their chests when they are made completely of petroleum-hydrocarbon free materials and only green renewable energy was used to produce them!

              I am not against new technology but don't portray the old dependable stuff as evil when it's still needed and used to produce the infrastructure, materials and products that make green energy viable and possible!!!
              .....hypocrisy.

                I wonder how it does on muddy gravel roads?

                  I don't think it's the sole solution for here year round, but for a large portion of the world's commuters it might be. Without having a big radiator up front screwing up the aerodynamics, these things can get very efficient. Btw those pizza cutters may surprize in the snow, just found it interesting is all.

                    Back when roads were virtually non existent most places, cars were 2wd with no limited slip diffs (ie. 1 wheel drive) with pizza cutter tires, underpowered, poor brakes, terribly unreliable, and people managed( although they were parked for a good portion of the year).
                    Now when most miles travelled are on well maintained pavement, gravel roads are gravelled and snow plowed, and we carry cell phones for emergencies, yet we all drive super reliable 4wd vehicles with tires and tech that could have easily navigated the worst of the roads back in the day, in the worst weather.

                    It may be time for a rethink of what personal transportation looks like for most folks.
