Behold an almost free new electric car.

less than 1000 miles over 2 years - he didn’t like it that much then!

To be fair, it’s so slow that he may well have driven it every day How many miles does your average tortoise move in 2 years?

Depends on the species!

But theoretically some of the faster ones could easily cover that distance.

Utterly ruins their resale value though.

Perhaps, but that's for the owners to decide on.

I'd just rather ebike.

Can't the Ami be de-restricted like most of the ebikes you see whizzing around ? They're meant to be limited to 15mph IIRC but clearly aren't in practice.

I see AmTuning will delimit it for £275. But would you want to mess with the ECU on a car you don’t own from a notoriously unreliable brand? Wouldn’t want to pick up the bill for a battery/motor replacement.

37.5 mph!



Although with insurance already £stoopid, how much if you declared it?

[Mito Man]

I accidentally did something which may have made the Kawasaki Mule to go from 30 mph to 35 mph. It just so happened that I was doing a spanner check for loose bolts, as is recommended every 50 hours in the manual and I came across a bolt which wasn't fully tightened just underneath the accelerator pedal.
Can drive it on the 30 mph roads stress free now.

Fuck me, what an appalling caption on that post. Hard ignore from me.

Saw this and looked at an Ami for £2k for 2 years but, yeah, with the insurance on top and every road more than 1/2 mile away from me being a 40mph limit or higher, it would get frustrating/dangerous very quickly (slowly).
