How does that not tip over when you turn?

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 55 points 20 hours ago

Just stick the leg out the door in tight turns

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 30 points 20 hours ago

That's the neat part—you don't [turn].

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago

By keeping the speeds low.

From the article:

"Power comes from a modest electric motor, thought to be sourced from an e scooter and powered by a 24 V battery, pushing the car to about 15 km/h (9 mph) with an approximate 25 km (15 mi) range."

I'm surprised it didn't fall over when he opened the door

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago

Yeah, a motorcycle tilts as you turn so you stay stable. This looks like it would just fall over.

Not sure, but this is an example of an incredibly narrow car that had a pretty reasonable top speed

Some of the claims seem... un reasonable but it would have to be relatively stable to hit highway speeds
