Do you have to fold your hands and hum before you get in?

What is a Zenn?

(I hope it's a good car, please post some pics)

It's a neighborhood electric vehicle, which means it can only go 25 MPH (some states allow it to go up to 35 but not California, even though it is capable). It is now my primary vehicle. I don't have pictures but will try to get some!

Congrats on your new car... it is not for everyone i will definitely agree, but it does fit a lot of my transportation needs. i have had my Zenn for 6 months and i have never had to go to either backup vehicle because the Zenn could not do the job (with exception of an item that only a pickup could handle..iow, the Pri could not have done it either)

i am in Wa state which is one of only a handfull of states that allow 35 mph (although i can tell you from others who have Zenn's that you will never get a ticket for 35 mph in one no matter what state you are in) and i mine does it via a software upgrade that is available free online developed by a Zenn owner in the SF Bay area. Most dealers will install it for you free of charge.

It's a car that makes the sound of one hand clapping.

It looks like the wagon version of a Smart TwoFour.

That's a mighty tall windshield. Lots and lots of glass all around.

Interesting that there are more electric and subsize vehicles on the market lately.
