Their 400kg car looks more clunky than mine and needs 40 BHP to pull it along.

My 3 wheeler will weigh 300kg and has a 22 BHP engine, and I'm not using carbon fibre. I reckon my car looks better too.

My eBay sized development budget stretched to a scooter engine rather than a custom eco engine so I doubt my MPG will be quite as good.

My standard for judging most things is "could I do better". Brain surgens have it easy by that standard, but engineers have to try harder than Axon seems to have.
