Amazing! Why governments don’t give incentives for more efficient vehicles, like these (perhaps the lower spec versions) is beyond me. They claim the environment is overwhelmed by CO2 & other gasses yet do not encourage light weight, strong (and obviously fast) vehicles. Its safer than a motorbike, more efficient than any conventional car and could be very cost effective if mass produced. Come on all you governments, this is the way of the future!
