CrazyCooter Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Came across this ad on another forum and thought I'd p[ass it along. Price by KBB is a little on the high side, but it does only have 65 miles on it. If I had the space, I'd consider it as it would make a cool daily commuter for me! https://advrider.com/f/threads/price-drop-7000-2015-smart-car-100-electric-less-than-50-miles.1426507/ Edited May 14, 2020 by CrazyCooter Quote 1999 Peterbilt 385 C12 430/1650 13spd 2006 Dodge 3500 DRW 4x4 2010 Hitchhiker Champagne 36 LKRSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, may not work for everyone, but my commute is 2.4 miles each way. For touring the country like many of you do, It would not work Quote 1999 Peterbilt 385 C12 430/1650 13spd 2006 Dodge 3500 DRW 4x4 2010 Hitchhiker Champagne 36 LKRSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For touring the country like many of you do, It would not work And 2.4 miles won't even get the motor warm on an i/c vehicle. I would consider one, if I didn't need my tool box. I've tried several times to use a motorcycle to commute, but found that the pick-up with tools is always at the wrong place. That said, for the past two months, the "real car" has hardly moved, and we take the smart everywhere, unless it's a long ride, then we take the little truck.

When the weather is good, I ride a motorcycle to work. This week it's raining and my Jeep has the top off, so I'm driving my Cummins Ram which I hate. I leave the Jeep at the shop in case I need to run for some bigger parts or I now have a trailer that tows behind any of the three dual sport bikes. The Smart would give me instant A/C/heat on the short commute and we also have solar at the house which was sized before we were energy efficient, so we have excess energy that I could put to work.....That said, it would never pay for itself before the battery failed. We had considered exploring more urban locations, so charging stations would be plentiful and I could charge at the RV park for free at night so long as nobody noticed?
