I test rode one in 1985 Absolutely ridiculous design to Low to be seen in traffic... no standing on the Pedals due to Seating and Handlebar positions. poor Suspension on Plastic Wheels It was a design disaster.
I think the design is great for the cost spec and time it was made. It’s just the marketing that was a total disaster. It’s a super fun fine weather vehicle rather than for daily commuting on busy roads. The only upgrades I’ve done are chunkier tyres which helps the ride and lithium battery which greatly increases range and boosts speed. Most common response I get from people when I’m driving it around is “where can I buy one!” So maybe it was just 40 years too early.

Great! I've been out for a few runs to the shop recently. I find my CV a really practical little run around! 🙂
