I have a 1968 Meyers Manx buggy and I think this thing is cool, well thought out and just enough modern to give it broader appeal.

I absolutely love this, it would be perfect where I live. My biggest concern is with only 325/year manufactured the price will be sky-high and only the thieving magpie peddlers will get them... btw excellent reporting and photography. I don't see where to sign-up for one, looked several times on the MM 2.0 EV website, ugh.

First off, why no headrests? Whiplash is inevitable...especially duning! Also, ergonomic seats are a priority with variable lumbar support for an all day romp...This should be a standard safety item, not a custom feature!

Not REAL chrome. “Chrome” plastic wrapping that scratches easily and looks cheap. Chrome needs to die off with the baby boomers. It’s cheap and tacky especially whenever it’s competing with matte black plastic trim. Earth elements will tear this external chrome wrap to shreds.
