I wish I had jumped on one of these when I had the chance:
It was guaranteed by the builders to deliver 100mpg at 55mph (with the smaller engine).
All things considered, there really isn't anything there that I couldn't build for myself. I know it isn't an EV, but as you can see the personal mobility pod concept isn't new.
If I may ask, what kind of range is the Solo expected to deliver? I'm having difficulty finding a number on the website.
[edit]
Never mind, I found it: the specs page projects 100mi range.
