Hey how about a simple motorcycle for nice weather days until the VW is
available?
Bugs in teeth, wind blown hair, free A/C, life is good;-)  My Ford E-250
@12mpg costs $120+ to fill in the sad state of Illinois (Chicagoland). My
Ninja 600 4.8gal is under $20 guestimate 45-50mpg. I know the grin per mile
is high on the Ninja.

So how do we go about doing an open source design similar to the VW? Just
add motorcycle engine or better yet electric. What about state, county,
federal, regulations?

Now if you want to look at something thats really fun.....

seconds, a quarter mile in 11.9 seconds, and has a lateral grip of 1.156g
with street tires.
