Cool as a tech piece I guess and a ‘look at this, and my skills’. Man’s definitely skilled.
But just get an electric motorcycle if you want to be eco-friendly.
I would say “electric motorcycle doesn’t have a roof, meaning no cover from the elements” but that guy can’t roll up the windows so he’s probably not worried about that.
Besides, are their cheap electric motorcycles? I feel like a used Nissan Leaf would be a better form of transit and eco friendly.

Wtf is the title on about. Its an art project and absurdly impractical as a car.
Almost like all the things mentioned in the title are brought together in the art he made. I don’t remember the title saying practical car alternative.
Not really sustainable?
He took an old car. Modernized it. Hence making something old and sustaining it into modernity.
Part of sustainability is being content with less and this art can be seen as a literal embodiment of that ethos.
Someday the car brains might invent bicycles, at this rate.
How does that not tip over when you turn?
Just stick the leg out the door in tight turns
That’s the neat part—you don’t [turn].
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.”
That’s even slower than my actual e-scooter… no thanks.
People doing this are mad. Fucking insane.
I’m surprised it didn’t fall over when he opened the door
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
Not to mention hilarity. Cool project though.
He turned a 1993 Fiat Panda into a 1993 Flat Panda.
Uplifting? Why?
Despite being too narrow for legal road use and only offering toy car speeds
OP just spams articles utubepublisher dot in
It’s bot posted crap and people are blindly engaging with it. Lemmy is going to end up like Reddit, I fear.
No comment history, and only posts content from a few sites. Definitely fishy.
The bar is pretty low these days. I’ll accept it.
Now drive it over a slightly slanted road.
Electric bobsled more like. I would have the fear of god in me for any turn faster than 10km/h. Straight paths or banked turns would be fun though.
Neat, but wrong com: This thing is not road legal or practical.
Ride a bike, walk, or take public transport if you want sustainable transportation!
Looks like the kind of thing you’d drive in a parade.
Every once in a while the driver’s feet come out the bottom, he reaches his hands out the windows, and he picks the car up like it’s a dress being kept out of a puddle.
So glad I was not the only one who saw that and immediately heard “Mike Wazowski!” in my head.
Coffin shaped so he can be buried in it with no fuss over prep
That should be narrow enough for Italian roads.
Why is this here?
