Is it worthwhile???!!
by Indiaman1 on Aug 07, 2008 07:47 PM   Permalink

All this information, but everything's so technical, its of no interest to a common reader. No doubt the mileage is great, and kudos to the team for that! But the article fails to mention anything about the maximum speed, the maneuverability and safety. Would this "coffin" survive an impact? What if the "bicycle" tyres burst??!! Would it just go and crash on anything thats around?? Can it be driven on roads? Can the bicycle tyres survive potholes?? Mileage is not the only thing to consider!! Add in a proper tyre, a better engine for speed, and a little bit of safety features and the mileage will drop DRASTICALLY! The car would essentially become a TATA Nano!!
