China name brand. They want alot. I considered buying a 100% electric car, looked at NEV's, small cars like the electric Smart Car, ect.. but the problem seems to be speed. See, NEV's or cars that travel only 25 mph can only be allowed on streets 35 mph( and that is if the law doesn't deem it dangerous). Oh the Smart Car( China made) with a 250cc engine would appear a better deal, but the car wieghs abouts 1500 lbs and by the time you put two in the seat well you are close to 1 ton. Is a 250cc that powerful to push a ton up hill? See I own a Roketa Bali 250cc scooter and it wieghs 340 lbs and me 190 lbs= 530 lbs or approx 1/4th ton. Now the 250cc Smart Car cost $7400.. Not bad, but the engine is really to small. This car might go slightly faster, but if classified as a NEV, well I would be weary to read laws in my home State before investing into one. The SL-150t-27 is a three wheel scooter car that will do 40 mph. The scooter has two seats like a car, steering wheel, turn signal lever on steering columb, brake and gas pedal like car, safety belts, ect.. gets 90 mpg.. It is classified as a automobile because it has the features of a automobile verses a trike. But anyhow, it does 40 mph and thus to the Licence Bureau is classified as a low speed vehicle. Low speed vehicles can't be operated in speed zones above 35 mph. Read laws before buying any vehicle. Ya, I seens the cars forsale new by Wildfire. China name brand. They want alot.

It's perfect in the Hollywood valley area's. Unfortunately I don't have a job to drive to everyday so it doesn't get used much, but when I need it is awesome. IF any of you are in the LosAngeles area reading this and are interested in buying the car, email me. I would consider selling it for what I paid. I have one of these Flybo’s and love it.

Seems like a nice idea and there are many areas that would go for this in the US. I would think that anyone with a parking lot in visible area could sell these. Any info would be appreciated. thanks Chris Have you bought one yet or sold any yet? Seems like a nice idea and there are many areas that would go for this in the US.
