So a motor scooter with a car-like wrapper.
One wheel in front?
It's a TRICYCLE!
There's four wheels.
Looks like just one in front
Oh sorry, I was still with the Twezzy. Yes, that's what it looks like. With the engine presumably in the back.
It looks like a bumper car without the bumpers and pole
Cool, now make it HPV or EV.
HPV
It's been vaccinated.
My 2007 Ninja 250 made about 35 horsepower, could achieve a top speed over 100 mph and could also travel nearly 70 miles on a gallon of gas.
My Honda Metropolitan gets 117 MPG. As a result, its fuel tank is precisely 1 gallon.
...It only makes 4 horsepower and has a top speed of 40, though.
Yeah I couldn't quite hit that efficiency with my Ninja but it was fully capable of traveling on the interstate and it it had a damn near 5 gallon tank. That bike was designed in 1988 and received only minor adjustments for 20 years and basically nothing has that combination of efficiency and capacity.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
