This is pretty far-fetched. A Honda CHF50 scooter (ICE) engine is rated 3kW, and its top speed is around 40mph. In the EV realm, the original Citicar had a 3.5hp motor, and it struggled to hit 40mph. Admittedly at 1300lb (IIRC) the C-car no doubt weighed more than this scooter; but it probably had (marginally) better aerodynamics. > The source also claims they fit in a car trunk ... And that's how they get that 200 mile range. :-\ David Roden - Akron, Ohio, USA EVDL Administrator = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = EVDL Information: http://www.evdl.org/help/ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Note: mail sent to "evpost" and "etpost" addresses will not reach me.
