Taylor Greenfield Aug 10, 2011
Light it on fire and you have your new years eve firework!!! LOL

Sean Hodgson Aug 10, 2011
If it's "fully plastic" I wonder how durable that plastic motor is then!

You would be safer hitting a wall yourself than being inside this (all plastic) shell

Everything about this car is a bad idea

Doesn't the government offer a $7,000 rebate for electric cars? If so, and this thing turns out to be $7,000 I'll be the first one in line to get my "free" electric car. It wouldn't be a bad idea for little trips around the block, like a golf cart

He made it interesting to read, whats wrong with that? This guy should write more atricles

I like the sarcasm. Adds a real touch. Unbiased people are not real

The person who wrote the article obviously has not seen the Sparrow Electric Car.

Drew J. Kleyweg Aug 10, 2011
my bike still has more hp and a faster 0-60

And the sarcasm on the scissor doors must be his trying to say that obviously they developed and designed those doors for no apparent reason, maybe just to make the "car" look sporty. Heck, if you want efficiency that much, use your bike.

Yah right reporters are never unbiased. Although I wish they were sometimes. But this article does make me laugh

Miftah Rasheed Amir Aug 10, 2011
And out of nowhere comes a car supposedly being very efficient(which it is, maybe) but it is an absolute deathtrap. Reliant Robins will look like nothing compared to these cars if you look at their safety features.

Miftah Rasheed Amir Aug 10, 2011
It's not that irritating. The guy has a point, I can see what he's trying to say. Most other car companies don't dare do this cause they know it mostly won't have any safety features, we don't have the technology yet.

Albert Jaramillo Aug 10, 2011
So much for reporters being unbiased. This guys personal opinions are irritating

Law Patrickus Aug 10, 2011
The overall sarcasm the writer of this article has just makes me chuckle here, making me laugh at my iPhone

Brennon Aucoin Apr 20, 2012
Lol actually they make the worst

Caleb Lochridge Aug 11, 2011
At least they still make awesome dirtbikes

Adam Sampson Aug 11, 2011
I'm almost embarrassed to own a KTM now haha

Michael Palazzo Aug 10, 2011
expected something a little more sleeker from KTM, not a PT Cruiser looking thing.
