While it might garner a few headlines, one person driving at 45 Kph with enough luggage space for a case of beer (and they don't say if it a 6 or 24= ) won't be used by my family anytime soon. At that speed they are putting out about the same power as a racer on a bike. If they had added a few solar panels and changed the shape closer to one of the sun racers they could have gotten a few more miles out of it. Fun project though, I'm sure.
