  • OK, how the hell can these little pieces of crap get only 33 mpg around town and 40 hwy when my 85 Honda CRX Si got 35 and 40 and was a REAL car that was fast as hell and handled like a cheap PORCHE. And THAT was 25 years ago. Am I missing something ? I would think these would get like 50 or 60 mpgs. What is the deal. Were the engineers drunk when they designed them ?

  • @edcardinal, most of the really tiny ones used 2-stroke engines, which are far from economical. Certainly the technology has improved over the time since there were produced. My 89 Honda CRX hf was good for 50-60 mph, but had much higher gearing than the hot-rod si models.

  • I want one :D

  • Go buy a kawasaki ninja 250 AND a honda cbr 250r and spend only about 9,000 USD.

    motorcycle = WIN

  • You could go buy and repaire a 1973-79 honda civic they get 40mpg,

    Or an old Simca.

    Or a Geo Metro, The metro gets 60mpg.

  • @astrialkil, I'm not fond of anything burning petroleum products or even biofuels, as the carbon footprint is still excessive. EVs are great, pedal power even better. A Peel with an electric motor and LiFePO4 batteries would be a very useful compromise, in my opinion.

  • @rockandrollmetalhead they have forced injection for 2 strokes now , lots of conversions in India for their mopeds.

  • @freddotu screw pedals and put in a electric motor and a clean 4 stroke weed whacker engine to recharge your battery serial electric 3 wheel motorcycle !

  • These are Amazing:) I want one
