I like to drive to another town to eat at The Olive Garden. Thats 90 miles round trip. I couldn't do that in this Bug. To me, if you're gonna have an electric car then come up with one that will do 3 to 4 hundred miles. Its not impossible. Shoot, if we can go to the moon and take somebody's heart out and work on it surely we can build an electric car that will do 400 miles or better. Where's American Technology?
@johnpham117 Simply a look at a vehicle with a much smaller environmental footprint that their combustion engine predecessors. Not intended to make it appear more or less safe than the BugE's actually are.
You could make the same argument for mopeds and motorcycles. One could also make an argument that the danger in crashing is relative--if everyone else on the road wasn't driving a 2 ton vehicle just how dangerous would a BugE be?
@TrekRollins Yes you could make the same argument and maybe that would be a good place to begin. As far as the danger that would be incurred if everyone drove BugE's.... not having a ton of education in mathematics and physics, common sense would tell me that vehicle fatalities would be much less likely. This isn't intended to portray a solution to all the world's transportation woes, simply another viable option for people that care to make realistic changes to their lifestyle.
I'm working on a BugE kit right now. When I'm done, it's going to be so satisfying driving up to my local convenience store and just putting down a buck or two for coffee and skipping the additional fifty bucks for gasoline! I also know how to fix everything on the BugE so I won't need to visit a car repair place either!
For now, I am still keeping my old car. However, I'll be using it less so it shouldn't be quite as much of a money pit as it is now!
Where can I get one

It looks dangerous and easy to steel.

@nitojo7 Probably depends a little on the driver, but yes it would be much easier to STEAL than a traditional vehicle.

Gas isn't expensive, the US dollar is being devalued at an epic rate due to Bush and the Federal Reserve putting the printers into overdrive.
How else do people expect them to pay for wars AND grow the size of government WITHOUT raising taxes. ;)
That being said, this car is cool insofar as it is kind of like modern day Peel P50. All it needs is a moped engine. :)
