blah.

Hell I can make that in my garage too if I had about 25-35k. Trust me, I have done alot of research. "Zero to 60 in 3.8 seconds, and 135 mph." Hell that sounds about like a 12R. I wonder which one corners better???

It simple tech. Make it cheaper now thats the hard part. Batteries/capacitors are the missing link.

Would be interested. Only thing holding back any of this is the battery capacity, weight, and time it takes to recharge.

If you spend the coin and get good Lithium batteries, the thing could run a long ass time. Recharging them isnt that bad either. When I hit the lotto one of my projects is an electric X1 : )
