A very low cost EV is taking a golf cart transaxle or whole GC rear/seat and weld, ect a MC front end, frame, title to it, change the batteries from 6vdc to 12vdc to double the voltage and use larger dia VW Rabbit tires and you can have a nice 1- 3 person MC trike that goes 45-55mph and 50+ mile range.

It will appear in Europe next year as the Opel Ampera and in Australia as the Holden Volt in 2012. South Korea did that and Australia is going to be doing that. You guys go ahead and buy your 40 mile per charge GM golf cart. The car is expected to cost around $40,000. Oh, and it looks wayyyyy cooler than the Volt.
