Interesting aside, in 2000/2001 Atlanta's mass transit organization, MARTA, made a deal with some now defunct company to bring over the 450s, convert them to electric drive and use them in a rideshare program. The now defunct company took delivery of at most a couple dozen and only ever converted 6 vehicles, all of which are believed to have been sold.[/QUOTE]
Hello Brian, I was driving one of them at the tail of the dragon, they were just a rolling chassis, (Gliders), looked normal , but no drivetrain ,gas tank ,ecu etc.i put the 700 cc engine with turbo in it,same as 2003 and newer ,it was Emotion Mobility that went bankrupt , Leroy has one or 2, the last 10 were about the 7th month 2002 models , they were sold on e bay in July of 04, all red and black, pure, with ac, i still have a 2nd unfinished one, i think these gliders were the only 450's with "USA" on the build sheet ,they were stored in savannah ga for over a year before the acution, leonard
