No cargo space, no passenger seat, no running lights, no heater, no top, too slow, too expensive, won't fit in the bay, shall I go on?

yeah, bolt on a hub wheel to the front, make a trike and ride in the bed.

Could it really be that simple?  :o :o :-\

Oh I think not. Need at least a rope to pull on and steer that front wheel. Some sort of anchor to throw out to stop.

I appreciate the enthusiasm. Seems a tad misdirected though...

Pride Baja Raptor. 15mph top speed 15 to 20 mile range. Designed for off road use. Actually several examples of the more robust ones online.
Not those stupid little 3 wheelers.
I have an older Pride Pursuit XL that we take to fairs, shows and festivals.

No trunk, no passenger seat, no top, too slow to license, no heater, not enough range. Nope, don't think that one will do it either. Otherwise it's perfect.

I thought about that of course, I even have an extra. But the B is just too big in every direction. We think of it as a small car but compared to today's cars it really isn't.

I think a collapsible electric two person has a market.

Don & Jim -

Up until 2019, I had a Cricket ESV, a mini golf cart that actually fit in the back of my VW Jetta Sportwagon with room to spare. It was perfect for flittin' around campgrounds or running short local errands - heck, we even used it to go thru the drive-thru at the In-n-Out in Laughlin, NV! Got some real laughs from that adventure!. Unfortunately, I sold it, and nowadays wish I hadn't. However, if I was to replace it, I would opt for their SX3 model, which is slightly longer when collapsed than the ESV, but would still fit in the VW. Both models fold down to only 28" high x 32" wide, and 50"/58" long, so they'd easily fit in a baggage bay, too.

Cricket HQ is in Melbourne, FL, but they have authorized dealers all over the country. www.cricketcarts.com

Below are a couple of photos, one of the ESV itself, the other tucked inside the VW.

FWIW & HTH. . .  ;)

Very nice as a minimalist solution.

I would prefer something that has at least the suggestion of a sports car in it's styling though as well as the possibility of being used in the rain.

Dan, please. Have you ever ridden a bicycle in the rain with a raincoat? You KNOW what happens. How's the wife going to react to that?
