Without a doubt that thing is quick as hell, it's an electric car, meaning that torque is instantaneous and at it's maximum. I know it looks like a damn Spree, but I bet it's fun as hell to drive.

It looks about as stable as a unicycle.

Sure, it's tall, but you've got to realise that all the weight is down low, so it's center of gravity is much lower than you'd expect.
