50cc car

[benandthe]

Just seen this picture by a local motorcycle training school taken at a trade expo somewhere.

Not too keen on the idea of a 50cc car, that can be driven on a provisional licence.

I also thought there were laws for these sort of things?
It only does 30mph too, slow but I suppose at least you would be dry in the rain and warm in the cold weather...

what are your views?

i think it is good if you are 16 and wanting a car ... but putting my "sensible head" on.. i think it is an accident waiting to happen! they are alot bigger (wider) than bikes and people should have to do their car license as it is a car ...regardless of engine size

also LOL at the space in the bonnet!

If i was 16, rich and lived in a heavily congested city with a wet climate, i'd get one for certain.
Living in the UK and commuting to work in a 70 limit the whole way, not a chance.

The only good thing is these cost alot, can't remember the exact price, but id say its safe to say you won't see alot about due to the price

Wouldn't ever get one.

I like filtering too much. Sitting in a traffic jam, not for me. If it wasn't for filtering, my tea would be cold when I got home.

Although, I miss my bike, can't wait for the snow to go away. Roll on March.

Pretty sure its a 400cc diesel.

£10,000 to buy, £2,200 to insure, and at 17 they'll want something else. Can't see it being that big a hit.

[thx1138]

on the plus side, I might be able to get a second hand one for a laugh and insure it for about £3.50

Plenty of engine bay space for a ZZR1400 motor.

[speedy]

with 50cc's of raw power + the weight of the car + driver + what looks like space for a passenger = 0-30 in 10 mins with a long straight down hill and the wind behind you.. my 50cc moped when de restricted did around 40mph and that weighed nothing
a car with a .05L engine LOL what will they think of next.. you might aswell walk

[andyscooter]

it hasnt got a 50cc engine its got a 400cc diesal engine thats restricted to 28mph

I know someone who has an older one of these, same make.
Its a Kabota diesel engine and belt driven CVT. Its completely hopeless, loud, slow, unreliable like you wouldn't believe and expensive to repair. I had a go and wanted to kill myself. But it reminded me.of.being 17 in my first car.

50cc in a car wouldn't move it unless it was like one of those Peele P50's.

400cc Diesel, you would half your 0-28mph time with an extra passenger.
