The FlyBo has landed.
Great Lakes Auto Sales in Saginaw will begin selling the miniature Chinese electric "neighborhood vehicle" in the next couple weeks.
Owner Dave LaTarte Sr. said licensing negotiations with the distributor of the car held up its arrival.
We hoped to have them on the lot this summer, but it didn't work out," he said.
"It's a great little car for running errands, making quick trips around town," or for college campus ground crews and similar occupations.
The FlyBo starts at $10,000 and runs for up to
70 miles before needing a recharge. Plug it into any ordinary household electrical outlet for two hours, and it's ready again to cruise along at 25 mph.
The Jinan FlyBo Motor Co. of China produces the two-passenger car, but LaTarte is the only dealer in Michigan carrying the fuel-savers, he said. A drawback to the car -- which uses dashboard forward and reverse push buttons -- is it is rear-wheel drive only.
