Commuter Cars Tango EV on Jay Leno's Garage

Tango Electric - Electric - Jay Leno's Garage



If you've visited his site before, you already know Jay's no stranger to EV's.

Latest episode he looks at the Tango. (11 sold to date, says the head honcho.)

Quote:
Have you ever seen an electric car do a burn-out? Check out inventor Rick Woodbury's Tango! It's safe, it's super fast, and it's five inches narrower than most motorcycles to dart through traffic like no other car ever has before.

Cool -- thanks for posting. I got all nostalgic and found the Aptera video that Mr. Leno made a little while back:

The Donut Boys drove a Tango T600.

They liked it!

It sounds like this could have been interesting had it made it to full production!
