I know I'm a fan of mpg which is what brought me to the mirage, if I could afford a electric car I would drive one. Which brings me to my dream of adding the two things that would be so awesome to my mirage, awd and electric assist.
It would be amazing if I could retrofit a small solid rear axle from a small rear wheel drive car, possibly a Toyota starlet or something else small, and power it with a electric motor while keeping the added weight under 300lbs. Using enough advanced batteries to power me 6 miles to and from work, and also giving me to ability to power through thick snow and terrible snow covered inclines.
Just a random idea
