I find that van far less objectionable than the lifted pickups infesting our streets.

Yeah, electric cars need to be a lot less like Tesla and a lot more like golf carts.

I love it and I want one. Especially if it had electric backup and dropdown sunblockers

It's an open-source design! I hope to have the skills to make one of my own one day.

I definitely would not be able to build my own, but that's amazing.

If you can use a drill and a saw you can build one! XYZ Spaceframe, plans, and the french vhelio variant.

looks pretty nice, too bad its lacking air conditioning and safety features. i'd love if a team came up with open sourced 3D printer schematics for everyone to make kits with. bicycles are great but not during crazy climate concerns.

I would guess I lot like when we had animal driven carts everywhere.

But with less poop.
