Can't see that cutting some bits off would lighten a Bini by that much. It looks as though it would make a good hovercraft.
Yes, I think looks ridiculous and to call it a Moke is an insult to real Mokes.
Anyway, the guy obviously has no concept of physics, as even a year 11 physics student could tell you it would be more effeicient to charge the bike batteries with the car's alternator.

But then it wouldn't be a 0 carbon event

Yes, I think the correct term is "Greenwash".

That's the
polite term, the
correct one is far too rude to post on a public forum.
0 carbon event indeed.

Let's all make a turbine. Anyone care to make plans? Couldn't it work the same as a trickle solar charger and charge up a car battery?
