A wooden electric streamliner
Fancy the Vectrix VX-1 custom? It’s based on an electric scooter, but the body appears to be a mahogany and fibreglass with polished aluminium trim. The cowpoke saddle looks to be a modified leather Corbin.

Re: A wooden electric streamliner
Many of us wanted to drive steam trains, become astronauts or cowboys - but I as a youth always dreamed of noiselessly cruising the streets on a massive wooden gourd.

Re: A wooden electric streamliner
That would be ace for the commute but I'd cover it in fake horse fur and put a horses head on it

Roll it over on its back, like a beetle, so it can wave its wheels in the air?

Re: A wooden electric streamliner
I had a go on a Vectrix back in 2006. They went bust some time ago, didn't they? Rather sadly, as it was a pretty good machine. Does the wooden 'fairing' enhance it? No.
