Weighing just over 1,000 pounds and with a length of about 8 feet, the vehicle will initially be for use in private communities, resorts and golf courses, with a top speed of 19 mph.
Sounds like a problem with US roads having too many poorly designed vehicles that endanger others, not a problem with this vehicle. If the road is too unsafe for this surely it’s too unsafe for cyclists and other light vehicles.
I think these actually aren’t even street legal in most states.
owners will be able to install a kit upgrading their Topolinos to federally regulated Low-Speed Vehicles (LSVs), allowing a speed of up to 25 mph and access to certain public roads
Yeah so if I understand correctly, it doesn’t actually hit the minimum federal requirements to access public roads without that upgrade kit.
It’s a big fucking golf cart
It’s a death trap on US roads. It’s going to be run over by a pickup truck on the first day.
In Europe it works well tho. For narrow and slow roads is good
ok, but getting hit in this is about as safe as a motorcycle.

Yeah exactly. Like why do you need a 4 ton truck to go to the grocery store?

Not US road legal.
It’s legally not a car, but a quadricycle.
Those doors really inspire more FIAT jokes…go!
In Europe it does 45 km/h, so I don’t understand why they limited the US model to 19 mph
So it’s classified as a quadricycle, basically a mobility scooter with a roof.
