I see two local bicycle shops have them. Then again my town has a bunch of street legal electric golf carts people run around in. The ordinance is that the little pickups and van cant go in major highways... No big deal. They are only 660 cc anyway...
Hummm i wonder if you could electrify them? Now that would be neat...
A REAL Tampa Bay Lightning, eh?
