Interesting. Improving fuel efficiency by lightening the car. We'll see if it works. I post this mainly to point out that one: There is plenty of innovation and new tech out there that is very promising and two: No government mandates created this. So, while Al Gore wants to force change, free market capitalism is chugging right along providing far more innovation and efficiency than Mr. Gore and his Socialist/Communist buddies could ever dream of. Gore's approach would stifle innovation. Government control always does.

The switch from gasoline to something else will come. It may even happen during the next 10 years like Al Gore wants. But it will only happen as a result of free market forces and not through government mandates. Long live the free market!

I wonder where the carbon in the carbon fiber comes from?

My suspicion is that safety regs will keep yt from becoming a four wheeler. Hence, you will not see a Chevy Suburban , etc with this approach. I wish them well, though.

Sounds like BS to me. Another small company making claims about supposed breakthroughs in order to fleece investors.

I think 100mpg from a 500cc engine is an unrealistic claim; 60-70mpg would be more likely. My bike has a 125cc four-stroke and it gets 100mpg because it only weighs 240lb.

Carbon fibre banana, is gonna be a sudden craze...

Don’t drive it across a bridge in high winds.

Yeah. Uh-huh. Just like industry was going to produce new Light Sport Aircraft for $ 20,000 - $ 30,000 using composites, alloys, and new technology. Only, these aircraft finally arrived at a cost of $90,000 - $ 160,000 a copy. And still burn 5-8 gallons per hour at $ 6.10/gallon LL100.

There’s an opening out there for somebody to become the Andrew Carnegie of carbon fibre.

Well if does pan out, you know algore will take credit. What a man..... invented the internet and a 100 mpg car.
