I like that thing. It's like if you took the idea of a donk and made it into a solar-electric eco-machine. Never seen one of those that looked remotely stylish AND aero.

If I find myself with an FUV on my hands, it will get at least a touring top. I was thinking Haartz cloth instead of leather, though.
Ignore the color, I should've gone grayscale on this.

That velorex looks like a complete death trap.
Looks nice, but still. Yikes.

The first time I sat in an SRK (now FUV) the most comfortable position was with my feet on the upper suspension A-arms, two years ago. The current bodywork obstructs that, but I threw them on anyway.
