When using an electric motor, there is no need for a reverse gear... To drive backwards, the motor actually spins backwards. This is done by simply reversing the polarity of the motor. I would call that an improvement over the original 2-stroke scooter engine...
i really don't understand what is so humorous about it. Instead of seeing something like this as a smart alternative to idiotic 1 tonne cars, they see it as an object to laugh about. to me, that's a bit sad..
I totally agree. Things are even worse here, people still drive alone in 3-ton+ SUVs. For some reason, it has been thought that a monster truck is needed to haul a couple of small kids.
@kadsjr There is no "new owner" of Peel. The people making the electric ones have not bought out the old company. They apparently simply registered a new company in England and began making them. You cant' "google it" for more info as it has not been widely reported yet. Any info out there is simply re-stated press releases that don't bother to find out the facts. The estate of the late owner of Peel Engineering has already begun to raise a stink about this.
@kadsjr Can you prove that they bought out the original Peel Engineering Company on the Isle of Man and did not simply register the name in England for £50?
Simply saying so does not make it so. What your brother "owns" is a different company with zero connection to the old one. It is a legitimate business but it has no connection to the original Peel Engineering on the Isle of Man.
yes but WILL IT BLEND!!!!!!!!!!111

thats a nice replica worth around £10k
the original didnt hv an electric engine
the original cudnt reverse but since it was only 59kg u cud pick it up and turn it around
the original got 100mpg = 2.8L/100km (according to estimates)
and the original had a max speed of 38mph = 61km/h

@kadsjr this can be answered quite simply. Ask your brother WHO sold him the company: Peel Engineering. Should be easy to answer.
