    @ertai @frightful_hobgoblin Registered as a car may mean adding airbags, passing crash safety tests, etc. It all depends on where you are.

    If you need to pass all those car tests you can’t be a velomobile any more, you have to be a car. Someone was making a modern electric Moke, which sounds like a fantastic vehicle, except it wasn’t legal in many places because it couldn’t pass modern safety regulations.

    (Heck postie bikes aren’t legal in Australia any more because they wont add dual ABS)
