1944 Brogan Doodlebug

Only 10HP? It's not likely to live very long with such a low amount of hit points.

Looks like if you ever hit a pebble on the road it would probably flip and kill you. Note also the conspicuous absence of a seat belt. Cute little death machine.

It's almost a motorcycle. Something like this would be great for commuting, if not for all the Compensator™ Trucks and SUVs on the road.

Renault Twizy

I beg you pardon?

It's easy to make a 100mpg car. All you need is to make it small, flimsy, no aircon, no heater, no stereo, no airbags, toss emissions standards out, pack you in like a snake going up a bear's anus, and drive around at a steady 25 mph without any stops.

That thing looks like it falls over on its side if you look at it funny.

I'm not sure I'd want to do 45 in that thing, hell of a way to go if you got speed wobbles. I could see a use for kei vehicles in downtown areas. Traffic is so bad that a car's top speed might be 30 if you are lucky. Mass transit, bikes and tiny vehicles are what most people could easily get away with day to day.

it looks like a Twinkie fucked a space ship.

The world would be a more fun place if we all drove bumper cars

So a motor scooter with a car-like wrapper.

That's terribly inefficient for a motorcycle

If you sneeze you can do a kickflip.

One wheel in front?

It's a TRICYCLE!

It looks like a bumper car without the bumpers and pole

My 2007 Ninja 250 made about 35 horsepower, could achieve a top speed over 100 mph and could also travel nearly 70 miles on a gallon of gas.

Cool, now make it HPV or EV.

Looks like a giant tape dispenser.

OK, but this appears to carry a maximum of two people and doesn't look like it has a trunk, so...how would this be better than public transit? Realistically, anyone who bought this would still need a full sized car to support a family of more than two, so this thing would only work for single people or childless couples. It's cool, and certainly better than everyone owning their own sedan, but not exactly a practical solution to car culture.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world needs to find a way to merge this with his wheelchair.

Zipping around town in style!
