The video shows someone driving it without a horse at ebike speeds, but the product page doesn't list the motor or battery specs. We could have entire cities full of these if we abolished cars. CyberMozart 1777.
I'm very tempted to get one as a car replacement if I can get a system fast enough to be urban street legal (60kmh~), but the custom bodies mean too many options. Do I want a Disco Elysium car, a CyberAmish one, a CyberWestern stagecoach, something themed after my dog's country, or Uma Thurman's truck from Kill Bill? You can't own something like this without making it as stupid as possible, but it has to be the smartest kind of stupid to be endearing rather than quirked up white boy.
