Ken,
I can't remember if I have subscribed, but I want to make sure.. Subscribed!

and I have a couple questions: I remember you mentioning back near the beginning of the thread that you were working on 4 units this year for $17,995!

These 4 units will follow your proof of concept generally but with some tweaks, such as second seat and longer front wheel "wings", right? Are these still the plan? Would you call them beta versions, prototypes, or regular production models? Would these be part of the development or is are you anticipating only a few differences to later models?

Really this is just a shameless attempt to get you to talk more and work more on this project because I love reading your well considered and well presented experience and your willingness to share it with us of lesser experience and knowledge.

Question number two is about insuring and road legalities. How do you go about registering and making sure your vehicle specifically (or any custom-made vehicle) is street legal?

Cheers,
Ben.
