Is there a right hand drive version (Australian requirement 🙁 )
I want one
It looks nice. http://www.secmavehicule.com/
I still think is safer than a motorcycle where you have no seatbelts and the gas tank is in your belly, also safer in a side crash.
nice craft!
Not sure how those rules are in Belgium. But …if yes …sounds like fun!
I have no problems with what you drive. I know what i like to drive. Sad to see that the country with so many good ideas about environment totally misses the ball when it comes to cars.
It never did. It is a quadro-motorcycle. Have you ever seen a motorbike take crashtests? Hmmm …BMW C1 did. But …that is a exception. Most motorbike have also the fueltank in front. What is the difference? Hmmm …i guess i know …you expected it to be a car. Well, it is not. Lucky me.
Hmmm …i don't recall that problem. I had a good radio that made more noise. 🙂
Don't forget your ear defenders as noise levels inside with doors closed exceeds 81dbs!
i'd do a drive-by in that car. 🙂
@ogatobranco Yes, the F16 is truely a small "racer". Lightweight and power like in a heavier "normal" car. Yes, gives a lot of potential. 😉
I my country it would be cheaper to buy a Skoda Fabia… but fun little car, the F16 looks quite impressive
@vabalistas There is no heating at all in this car. Just a small fan to defog the window. But more than that it does not. Just wear a good coat and gloves (for me thin leather gloves like those they wear in racecars are ok). I had not large problems in the winter.
Rain is not problem. The gullwingdoors are good enough. Mine were a bit damaged and i had sometimes a small amount of water in the car when i opened the door and the water in the middle of the "roof" did not follow its normal way.
Hi, what's about heating in this car? Possible to drive in rain?
I don't like the idea of the tank in the front where it's the first thing to meet a collision. I am surprised it passed safety testing.
@roboduke1086891 Gettting out of the car is as easy as getting from the ground when sitting on a 10 inch high cushion. It is reaaaaaallllyyyyy low. 😉
Relaxing in the seat is no problem. It is a ergonomic shape.
Good for the enviroment, but …a bit loud.
@FMX189 No. New they cost 12000 euro. High price because of low production quantity. And not a bad buy. It all depends on what you are looking for. I was looking for a new experience and for fun. I got both. 😀
@CarAddicts007 No, i bought the car. It is a productioncar. Build in North France.
im mine opinion the car is just too small to transport anything or at least lean back on the seat to relax. I the way the guy got out of the car looked difficult? Im just saying what i think. overall nice car and good for the environment.
i hope you paid 20$ for that,,, other wise, bad buy.
home made awesomeness
@Xarcht if you are refering to the political game in our license-plate-renewal, yes, colors matter. Most contrast is with yellow and black. Sadly those are the colors of the Flemish spoken part of Belgium, the French spoken part does not like that idea of seeing to much yellow-black. Ah …always this kind of game between both parts. Even we, Belgians, do not longer understand our politicians. 🙁
@nestofdragons Colors matter?
@JonAxDrayda Yep, it is Belgium. But soon our plates will get a new look. Euh …when the politician stop their game of discussions over the colors. 🙁
@doomdayjudge the problem is that a moped has so bad aerodynamics that it has as much aerodrag as a normal full size car. same with a person on a bicycle.
if you make a small light aerodynamic car it really works
@doomdayjudge You are right about normal mopeds. But …a lightweight microcar and has aerodynamic shapes will do much better than a classic moped. Currently I am building my own lightweight aerodynamic scooter (semi-enclosed). I wonder what the concumption will be of that one. Ok, it will be electric, but … kW are still kW. So … you might see the relation to a small engine of classic style. 😀 Time will tell.
@nestofdragons Dude if you got hit by a American SUV then you would be done…all we drive here is Huge Yank tanks that carry 6 but usually only have 1 person in them.
@navaloncho They are being sold in Europe. Several are riding in Belgium, many in France, some in Italy. Sorry, have no clue where they all are. Secma made more than 100. I had serie-number 90 or so. And …it was the OLD generation. 😀
@aldenbuzz Why your cars can't be sold in Europe??
The Can AM Spyder is legal in the US this car should be it not much different
@aldenbuzz I see the opportunity, but i also know that the USA is hard to get a car approved. Even the famous Lambourghini Countach has to be altered to be allowed in the USA. Some hideous bumper was needed. This Secma is really close to the limit of weight. Such alternations are not possible here. I fear the USA looses here a nice car if it keeps so hard in allowing European cars. 🙁 Unless the situation has changed the last years. Have not followed the rules lately. Fill me in. Data is ok. 😉
small and simple. but kool.
where can i get one
@biggeneU2002 I admit …the original music was better. But …I had a issue with copyright. Youtube blocked my video. But after my plea to be able to use one of my most favorite videos again, they invented the possibility to use other music which is copyrightfree. OK, a little bit less style, but …you can still see the video. Right? Thanks Youtube for responding to my plea.
It is a production car. And …recently they made it with a larger engine. Some renault engine. Tests on Belgian tracks mentions of a Porche not being able to pass this small car. Haha.
this is an actual production car? to bad it will never see american streets…
would be amazing with a GSXR1000 engine in the back
Oh, and there's so much about the car that the American car buyer would hate, like the fact that you can't open both doors at the same time, the basic interior and the zip-up windows. I love the car despite that.
I see. I wasn't trying to be a seriously rude, though. Of course, with the American thought process that bigger is better, it wouldn't last but maybe a couple model years. Only true car enthusiasts would understand and appreciate it.
Then again, the Smart ForTwo (or FourTwo) is selling quite nicely.
I needed to back up. Yes. Here the roads are less wide as in the USA. I guess in USA I could make endless circles. 😉
Yep, still need to back up. But …a bit of power would have made a nice drift without backing up. The car is really glued to the ground.
The car cost about 12000 euros here. Far too much when compared to a "normal" car but …you have something more exotic.
HA, damn thing still can't pop a U-turn without backing up. How much do they cost over there? They aren't marketed in America.
I looked that vehicle up on internet and …I don't like the looks. Sorry. Personal flavor.
I like the minimalism
sooo cute
my fun extream had a problem in the part that charges the battery. The mechanic
said that in Europe all fun extream were to replace this part. Had you repace yours? Have you had these kind of problems?
Imagine 4 wheel steering on this car. 🙂
my friends kia turns sharper than that!
Euh …how can I say this as gentle as possible. Unless you are a son of Bill gates or any other rich person, you will not get this for your birthday. It is really not cheap; Even much more expensice as motorbikes with the same power. Sorry for the bad news. More info needed? Go see the link at the description of the video.
