Mitsuoka Motor, a Japanese company, has just unveiled a micro kit car “K-4”, equipped with a 50cc engine on its classical tested sports car body, developed for the do-it-yourself customers in Tokyo. It is composed of more than 500 parts and takes approximately 40 hours to assemble. The Kit-Car measures just under 2.5 meters (eight feet) long and can run at up to 50 kilometers (31 miles) an hour.

hmmm ok how about an electric conversion for it? hehe
I mean think about it even if you keep the batterys to only enough for 10-15 miles and the lightweight kit should allow for a wicked little setup and better for the environment :)
I mean if a 50cc can do 31mph what could a nice electric motor do?

Do they have women driving large SUVs and yapping on their cell phones in Japan? If so, I think I would leave this thing at home.

I beg your pardon? Insanity is pretty evenly spread between the genders.
How about a little diesel engine for veggie?
I would love to have one of these especailly an electric versions, $6000 is a little expensive for probably a 30 mile and hour neighborhood vehicle. It definately would be a fun go kart.
