My response to Transport Canada's findings? http://gigababy.blogspot.com/2008/11/zenn-crash.htmlGet rid of motorcycles if they try to ban the ZENN.ZENN car crash test at 40 kph.Video found at http://download.isiglobal.ca/transport/LSV/LSV_Crash_Tests_VP6_1Mbps_Stream.flvCopyright 2008 Transport CanadaTransport Canada and Zenn Motor Co. have been arguing for months over mixing the company's low-speed electric vehicles with regular cars on city streets.The Zenn (Zero emissions no noise) vehicle - which company CEO Ian Clifford says will hit Quebec roads by the end of December - came under scrutiny after a series of crash tests by Transport Canada were made public this week. The dramatic footage - which raises concern over the safety of all low-speed vehicles - provoked a heated exchange between Transport Canada and Clifford, who is marketing the Zenn for use on roads with speed limits of 50 km/hour or lower. Broadcast by the French TV network TVA, the footage showed the hoods flying off several low speed vehicles as they were crashed into a wall at 40 km/hr. Clifford defended the performance of the Zenn, which is assembled in St. Jérôme from chassis imported from France."Releasing these images without the statistical frame of reference is somewhat irresponsible on Transport Canada's part," fumed Clifford. "Our assessment is that low-speed vehicles are among the safest vehicles on the road. I drive our vehicles all the time. I drive the vehicles with my children."© The Gazette 2008 Less

Feb 25, 2010 - Oh, woops 40 KPH, just caught that, which would translate to about 30 to 35 MPH, I'm presuming. Um, yea, I'd be very afraid to even turn into on-coming traffic down from where I live.
drewlsy Says:
Feb 25, 2010 - But these things can't even go 40, let alone 30? What's applicable here is the side-impact test, which looks to be the dealiest.

Feb 24, 2010 - Urghh... Please don't let these things on the public roads... I can just see my Ford FG G6E turbo cutting both of these in half...

Jan 17, 2010 - how often do you hit a brick wall at 40? roflmao
mint83 Says:
Jan 15, 2010 - thats only doing 40!
jarail Says:
Jan 15, 2010 - I'm worried the detachable (plastic?) hood will scratch my SUV or possibly leave a nick in the windshield as I pass through this 'car' otherwise unaware of the contact.

Sep 13, 2009 - well, at least if you see one on the road you can point and laugh
brahALON Says:
Sep 6, 2009 - the yellow car isn't even a zenn, it's one of those gem golf carts or something

Aug 26, 2009 - whoa I don't want a company who sells 15 year old remade Ligiers/Micro Cars its just not cool.

Jun 22, 2009 - Looks safer then a bicycle and a model-t so is perfectly fine!
dantonass Says:
Jun 21, 2009 - Why people says stupid comments, garbage ? first of all if they this is a clean emission car and if lot of people begin to buy these car everybody will respect the speed limit so the children in who play in the street have more chance to survive to a impact , second just thing about if you ride a scooter or a motorcycle at the same speed and you hit a car at 60 !!! believe me you prefer to have a mini car !!!!
pauloSandar Says:
May 27, 2009 - they are toys, not cars
spavatch Says:
May 1, 2009 - Actually I don't understand what's all the commotion. Nobody forces you to drive it, right? It won't harm you if you crash into it in any other car so what's your point?
Landini100 Says:
Apr 29, 2009 - Dear God, now I see why the Ontario Government does not want these hunks of crap on our roads. If hit by anything occupant will die or be seriously injured. At what to a normal car would be very low speed crash with little or no injury. KEEP THESE OFF OUR ROADS!!!!
srle12 Says:
Apr 21, 2009 - This car's chassis is a garbage. Look at how the wheel hits the driver in his head. And it's only 40 km/h. What would happen at 60 (a common frontal crash)?
amicofl Says:
Apr 19, 2009 - Air bag? Opzional
minicoop333 Says:
Apr 18, 2009 - chrisbennett18, airbags would not help the yellow car because they would be flying every were.
JesseTinsley Says:
Mar 31, 2009 - 40 kph is about the top speed of this car. If you crashed in your standard automobile at it's top speed, the same thing would happen. Don't crash.
