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.

Only 10HP? It's not likely to live very long with such a low amount of hit points.

It makes up for it with enough mana to keep a shield spell up indefinitely.

If you're still worried, though, you can pair it with a Volvo for tanking and a Fiat 500 for nimble single target dps and flanking.

A Fiat 500? Glass cannon much?

Rogues often are 🤷

With an insane mana point gain rate or MPG of 70, your mana's already full before the end of cool down.

That looks pretty fun. People are always driving around here in those Rhinos. They're not street legal, but the cops don't seem to care.

That last picture doesn't look too bad

Even comes with a napping package

It's almost a motorcycle. Something like this would be great for commuting, if not for all the Compensator™ Trucks and SUVs on the road.

I feel bad for driving a big SUV, but I needed something electric that was easy for my wife to get in and out of.

[–] brygphilomena 4 points 10 hours ago

I totally get the need for tall vehicles that are easy for people to get in and out. Not everyone can lift themselves from a low seat in a modern sedan or coupe. Accessibility is important.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Any electric vehicle is high because of the batteries. That's why so many are those awful looking crossovers. SUVs you have to climb into which would make them harder to get in and out of. So I don't really follow your logic I'm afraid.

Looks like a giant tape dispenser.

One wheel in front?

It's a TRICYCLE!

[–] AnUnusualRelic 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like just one in front

[–] AnUnusualRelic 1 points 9 hours ago

Oh sorry, I was still with the Twezzy. Yes, that's what it looks like. With the engine presumably in the back.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not sure I'd want to do 45 in that thing, hell of a way to go if you got speed wobbles. I could see a use for kei vehicles in downtown areas. Traffic is so bad that a car's top speed might be 30 if you are lucky. Mass transit, bikes and tiny vehicles are what most people could easily get away with day to day.

Cool, now make it HPV or EV.
