Does it have a “pedal assist” like a moped?

Oh for crying out loud , people!

You don't have to have 500 horses just to get your lone carcass to work in safety.I suppose we could all drive heavy battle tanks to the 7-11?

Anyway, I owned an Opel Kadett as my first car-it had a 1.1 liter 4 cylinder gas engine and 4 speed manual shift.But I never got 75mpg nor did I feel unsafe as it accelerated well enough for normal traffic.I drove nearly 100 miles a day at speeds to 75 mph right with the other cars.

We do still have speed limits and the truth is almost never do you need to drive at maximum speed of the car nor are most drivers qualified to drive that fast.I'd think the tens of thousands of dead people and smashed cars every year are proof enough.
