Zen car

It took a while for Transport Canada to accept this electric car in our country, but my understanding is that it was already being used in the Sates. I know the slow speed was an issue, so I was wondering if any of you were using it and how you liked it.

I owned some shares in this company for a while. They are Quebec based and recently have been approved for the road in that province prior to Canada. Before that about a third of their cars were sold in California. The speed is actually a government imposed limit of 50 km/hr. Don’t ask why, I don’t know. It is supposed to be completely quiet while it is running.

We live in a community that have alot of retirees and I have seen a few of these cars around town. They look really fragile up against any of the cars on the road, but then, if we can get rid of the old cars and start using the electric cars it won’t matter so much.

I saw a picture of a crushed Zen car–it did not look pretty! I wouldn’t buy one, I’d rather wait for a car that runs on fuel cells.

Getting into the Zen of Cars, sounds like a link to reality. Here in Ann Arbor a local electric car was produced, but failed to flourish. Whether it was the safety issue or the price who knows. I did see my first “Smart” car on the street the other day I hear they are popular in Switzerland. I also know that Jeep intended to install small diesel/gas generator, as a dual energy source in some of its future electric vehicles to extend the potential for distance of travel to be overcome. The zen is in the local usage of resources, knowing the source etc…

I never saw this type of car…….Would you plz send me some photos ….thanks for posting :eek::eek::eek:
