I came across this on former Mythbusters Adam Savage's Youtube channel. 20 MPH top speed, 35+ mile range, can get another 18 miles per day on solar charging alone. As Adam describes "It looks like a kid's drawing of a future vehicle, but not the way that you think".

    Yeah, I don't drive though as I cycle instead. Sadly our ebike laws are very restrictive to the point of barely being worth using. 250w pedal asist capped at 25kmh, I already cycle at around that speed so half the time it may well end up holding me back by being excess weight.

    Would love a few more lightweight vehicle classifications below a 50cc moped tbh.
