Paul, you've made me re-think my direction on this car. I had originally planned on a 75 lb motor and 72v. Your comment about the first freeway capable vehicle under $500 has been rolling around in the back of my head for a while, so I have decided to get a little beefier motor. Nothing like this 200 lb monster of course, because that would be overkill

I measured the engine bay and I have a lot of room. I'm not picky about the trunk either, and it is a very big trunk
