Sorry, we stopped making them in 2010. Maybe you can find one on eBay.

Well even if you could buy one (as James said they stopped making them), I hope you're not in a hurry to get anyplace. They have a top speed of 25mph, ha ha. It's like a hopped up golf cart.

All electric cars usually suffer from two maladies - slow speed & limited distance before a recharge is needed.

These can be increased markedly, but only thru high costs for huge, high efficient batteries & electric motors with gearing which increases cost & complexity.

Methinks an all around electric car is not likely in my lifetime, although I'm quite willing to wait!

Zero Emissions - great

No Noise - bloody dangerous (if you're a pedestrian).

I'm sure I read somewhere that gratuitous noise is now being added to some electric cars for that reason.

I mentioned a long time ago about noise being added because it was a hazard for vision impaired people like my son. When he was at the University they would be right on top of the sidewalk before you knew they were coming.
