I saw a Honda Insight at the local pupart. I was surprised to see one and there was a lot of it untouched. I was temped to take the complete rear section which held the battery, controller and other control systems. I can't say if I could have been able to set it up in another application but it would be an interesting project. I did remove the electric steering unit but decided against getting it because the motor runs on 144 volts. Thats a really sophisticated system and again would be quite a challenge to play with it..

Good news it could be quiet.

Dude that was funny!
