The biggest problem with the BugE was no floorboard. Flintstone brakes? Bleugene used them for meter maids.

Here's where I was at in 2013, between the BugE and the FUV:

..and I have a Lexus 68hp/98lb single-speed electric axle on the bench. Compare with Arcimoto's twin 40hp drivetrain. But they have torque vectoring.

And I hold a perfected reservation number, I just need to sell three cars to cover the $5K downpayment.

I used to be a sales clerk at Nextstep recycling, where we sold G-4 Macintoshes for as low as $25. Since, I've bought iMacs and Mac Minis in the $75-100 range. But now (post-Smartmatic/Dominion) I agree with Richard M. Stallman on Free and Open Source software. So I bought a new Raspberry Pi in the same price range.
