Hi

Not sure how many of you have seen pics of one of these before. Could be different.

https://www.peraves.ch/ndexe.htm

Acceleration isn't brilliant (too much weight for the power for that), but the top speeds are high. The turbo version manages 202mph.

All the best

Keith

Isn't that like the one that got caught on a speed camera on the A449 towards Stafford? The police hadn't got a clue what it was and they put a picture in the newspaper!

Hi

Thought it was on the A5, but yes it was one of those. Touch expensive though

All the best

Thinking about it they remind me of those bike things that were in the good old film Tron!

That was a great movie when I was a kid!

Hi

I have a feeling they might automatically go down. Not sure. That is from memory of a road test from a decade ago

All the best

I remember that test, I'm sure it was Top Gear. They do drop automatically, I think below 5mph or so. I reckon they look like fun actually Smile
