General Motors and Segway have developed a two-wheel, side-by-side passenger electric vehicle which aims to reduce traffic congestion in cities. Called PUMA, it will have a 35-mile range on a charge of its Li-ion battery and travel at up 35 mph. While still in its prototype stage this self-propelled rickshaw is estimated to cost (ownership and operation) a third or quarter of that of a car. POSTER COMMENT: How's that for beating the Chinese at their own game? Pictures on DFP link.

You gotta give GM credit, they never give up. They're about to go tits-up, screw about a bazillion suckers who threw away 20, 30, 40 years of their lives slaving away on some shitty assembly line out of their promised pensions and health care, but managed to come up with God-knows how many millions/billions of dollars building this piece of shit, with the sole intention of further discrediting the electric car.

The thing's not even street-legal, for Christ's sake.

I'll tell you what, the first company that puts an EV1 powertrain in a Honda Fit body is gonna have the world by the balls. Betcha dollars for donuts it'll be a Chinese company that does it, and we'll be buying them at Sam's Club and Wal-Mart.
