In this episode of Boing Boing Video, we test-drive "Sarriugarteis (Odontochile) trilobiteis," also known as The Electrobite Car. This trilobite-shaped DIY vehicle was created by "Oilpunk" enthusiasts Kyrsten Mate + Jon Sarriugarte, with help from fellow makers Amy Jenkins and Tansy Brooks.

  • The problem with all electric cars is the battery. If we could solve that problem (Tesla Roadster uses a 700 pound lithium-ion battery and gets 200 miles per charge) we could push the envelope past 45 miles (the average distance).

  • i think the trilobite is a crustacean. it is extinct tho

  • I'd kill to see them make a Ghost LOL
