| pacomartin Member since: Jan 14, 2010 Threads: 547 Posts: 6210 |  This urban electric vehicle with the motor in the wheels is being readied for production in the Basque country, based on an idea developed at MIT in America. They seemed to have missed the most basic marketing strategy that you show off a new car with beautiful sexy models, not with middle aged white guys. This vehicle has no doors, and it only goes about 75 miles between charges. Not sure of the top speed. Pretty expensive at 12K euros.

| DJTeddyBear Member since: Nov 2, 2009 Threads: 105 Posts: 5727 | I think that same thought passed thru the head of the guy in the photo who is now trying to get out. Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown.
But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

I hope it's got a reverse gear. Some of the early bubble cars that you got in and out through the front didn't have one.... you could get stuck if you parked too close to a wall. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_car People who drove them are held in erm, low esteem, in the UK.

I'm sure he would loose his footing, but I don't think we would be lucky enough for him to crack his head. "The Roman Empire wasn't planned, but neither did it 'just happen.'" |

| thecesspit Member since: Apr 19, 2010 Threads: 38 Posts: 3108 | It's an MIT design. I've seen it before having seen it's "fold up parking" capabilities. The gentleman getting out of the car is the current European Commission President, Jose Barrano. Glad AZ spotted that.

Is this a joke? Who wants a car where you have to be a Russian gymnist just to get in and out of it? He's having a problem getting out, imagine getting in, which is always harder. How about your 40#'s overweight wife in a skirt? I'd pay to see that...

| thecesspit Member since: Apr 19, 2010 Threads: 38 Posts: 3108 | Search hard enough on the internet, and I'm sure you can pay to see for something very similar... No Joke though, but I have no idea why the automotive collective going for this hasn't had one person go "errr.... guys.... this entrance and exit... erm, it's no good".
