saw the video this morning. Was cool, makes me wonder what kind of gearbox is it? CVT?
other thing i thought was odd was the lack of a speedo! (the digital one seemed to be switched off(
EDIT: it does work, its just its hard do notice is 720p

Wait, so basically they have made an electric Radical.

They could of at least made their own car.

It won't have a gearbox. It'll be one long gear, the same as a Tesla.

Happy to be shown otherwise, I just thought this was the way they did it.
