    Yes be condescending with your bullshit meme, I created something and you didn’t.

      What was your decision making process for including PV on the roof? Or your inspiration for the shape of the frame? Where is the battery storage in this design?

        Yes that’s a part of the reason I selected it, efficiency and cost being a part of it. The decision to include roof-mounted photovoltaics was driven by the need for energy resilience at job sites rather than primary propulsion. The frame’s architecture is inspired by the “cab-over” utility of traditional Japanese Kei trucks, modernized with a “monobox” wedge profile to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The battery storage is integrated into a skateboard chassis configuration located flat between the front and rear axles.
