Orbis Wheel

I'd like to see that Orbis P5 subframe with a Baja Bug grafted onto the front. Fifth-wheel tow vehicle.

And the rear overhang quite shorter, which seems to enable keeping the weight bias closer to the driven wheels regardless of the load.

I have been emailing Orbis because I am still interested in getting their kit. It seems like it is available but it is difficult getting answers to my questions. They seem to want to put in a 30kwh battery pack for a sequoia which seems excessive. They are pretty slow at getting back to me.

Just like other projects which sounded great at first, such as Pinnacle Engines with its 4-stroke sleeve-valve opposed-piston engine design, seems like we won't see updates from Orbis so soon...
