My goal in purchasing this was to make it my daily commuter, and my goal is complete. I have been driving it to/from work, as well as other activities and clubs. The only reason I've not driven is for extreme range. My favorite story so far is being pulled over to have my registration checked. "Is ..... That..... Street.... Legal?" the officer asked in complete disbelief that it could be street legal ( trust me officer, I spent nearly 4 months figuring out all the legal issues with it). I may start a story section on here for humorous comments. What I've noticed that that most of the people that approach me are very excited about the prospect and form factor of the vehicle. They love how small it is and how efficient it is.My favorite part is when people realize that it is electric. It is Quiet, sleek, and for reasons that escape me, it stands out in traffic.
I have noticed that the cold weather does affect my range a little bit. I'm excited that the temperature is warming up and that I'll be getting some good testing on range coming up soon.
Driving during the day is SOO much more fun that at night . I then can tell that people can see me as well as the friendly Honks and comments like " HOLY COW! IS THAT THING REAL" as I pull into parking lots.
Driving this is a real learning experience. I have learned more about driving by watching other people watch me. I suggest to you all to pay more attention to other people on the road, see what they do, watch how they accelerate... see how going faster than the speed limit doesn't really get you there sooner? Drivers really need to chill out.
I have broken a few charging station.... I think the Twike likes to take all the current it will be given... or else their Circuit breakers are poorly set. I will investigate this when time permits.
