For comparison my fathers miles zx40 is of similar spec and achieved 144wthr/mile which on 10kwhr of battery at 28mph would be 70 miles range. Regardless of a slight weight savings and no real aero improvement I can’t see this thing doing much better, especially at normal speeds.

Another Trouble is our country no longer has crash exemptions on cars weighing 1000lbs or less so I doubt this will ever be a US offering without extensive modifications
(With 4 wheels for example it would likely be illegal unless the LSV loophole is used)

If the LSV Loophole would be used but the cars speed was only electronically limited (and all other equipment left stock) I could see this as an excellent option for a modder because I could bypass hundreds of dollars of tax and insurance and simply tune the car back to normal operation
