Re: On the other hand...

Actually, there are some things like this that are starting to turn up over here in the USA. There's a firm out of Indianapolis that does a 'car conversion' sort of deal with certain motorcycles; I've seen a couple of these on the freeways up in Chicago, and they hold their own in that sort of traffic very nicely.

The Tango 100 is quite interesting, indeed. The range, like most electrics, limits this to mainly urban use, but the speed/maneuverability/acceleration issues appear to be adequately handled by the design, and the $18k pricetag is in line with various new midsizes, 'luxury' compacts, and hybrids such as the Toyota Prius. You could 'freeway' this safely if the performance stats are accurate. And it looks quite snazzy. I could see these selling. The other models are too pricey, though...the usual stigma of electric cars.
