When you check the interwebs I get the following
“Jul 10, 2020 — For the people who want one, it's better than ever. ; 0-60 MPH, 4.9-5.4 sec (mfr est) ; EPA FUEL ECON, 35/45/39 mpg (MT est) “
But the golden oldies usually list 15-28mpg depending on City / HWY
Is the Polaris motor that much better? I would expect these to be unreliable money pits.
Let me know the common failures
Thanks

'Want' would be operative word. I can't imagine anyone actually believing that they 'needed' one.
There's an Indian MC dealer in Oklahoma City I visited years ago with a war buddy. They carried the slingshot with the Chevrolet powerplant.
Salespeople inferred that anyone walking through the door and actually interested, would already be in the demographic of those who can get whatever they want, and when they want it.
The implication that they were for general commuting never existed.
I did like the fit and finish. The execution was good.
I figured it would be as reliable as people's expectations. After a day in the seat you might be thinking about the next purchase, as novelty faded.
Like the Ariel Atom, aerodynamics would be parachute-like.
If Rezvani made an enclosed body for them, that would be a good move.
At the right price, one might be willing to put in a thousand hours building an all-weather body.
