• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

spyder will blow it away on straight a way according to its 0-60 mph time.

i like the idea and i like what it does but i dont like the look, especially in the front. it looks like it missing fenders. other thing is it's fully enclosed.
i guess they did to stop 4 wheelers who never rode bike before from falling over:p
thing too slow for my taste and what it "looks" like it's capable of
0-60 in 8.2 sec? what is that about civic's number?
8.2 is good i guess for normal car but not for something looks this.
 
It's got a 660 cc engine and weighs over 1400 pounds, a Mini S could clean its clock. It does get 40 mpg though. I'll stick with my Spyder.

When Derwin was frequenting SpyderLovers, I would occasionally check his forum on these machines. I think at one time they were advertising 100MPG on these things. Advertising hype or a different powertrain? :dontknow:

We're way off Spyders here (again!) but I didn't notice anyone post about the Segway/GM deal. You think people stare at us driving down the road? Here's the prototype:

30miles on a charge, top speed 30mph. Called the PUMA.

Here's a concept drawing of the final version:

I know your first two thoughts:

1. A "cage" smaller than a Spyder??
2. Imagine the devastation when Ev & Patti's Barbus Smart car totals a PUMA...

Well, it's got 2 wheels, so it's a motorcycle? Gets it out of the crash testing cars have to pass. But it won't help their CAFE rating, either.
