The Gasolini AR1 uses 2-cylinder Honda bike engine, and an EV is underway, too.

Yes a one-seater that requires a helmet with zero storage and is so low that it would instantly be flattened by some wankstain driving a bro-dozer.

“Sportscar”?

I would imagine that the future needs would be more similar to that $20,000 US made EV truck

edit: unless I'm misunderstanding the use case for this because it doesn't seem to be designed for road use at all?

So, it's just a fancy looking tuktuk?

I mean. I want one. Badly. But I don't think that neccisarily means its the most practical vision of the future 😅

Youre basically sitting on the ground and have no vantage point from which to see things like on a bike or e-bike, and it looks to have zero storage space 😅

Its a go kart. And I want one.
