Benz technology


I think there is huge potential for this; click on the photo for full disclosure of what it is. Taking new technology (battery powered car) and applying it to old school technology (thin wire spoke wheels) creates a unique and VERY capable (by fuel economy standards) passenger vehicle. I would love to own and operate (and design) this type of vehicle. Awesome awesome and inspires me to take a closer look at Mercedes Benz.

Very Cool! I love the design and styling. Hopefully they can get the speed and distance up if they decide to produce it. For reference, at 25 km/h it would take about sixteen hours to drive from Houston to Dallas and I would have to stop once to recharge... Maybe if we had better public transportation I could take the train and have one of these for around town... Now that is creative problem solving!

PS. I love the joystick driving mechanism!
