I paid $11,250 for the smallest car ever… is it legal?

Most people dream about powerful cars, but this strange little machine only makes about 13 horsepower and barely reaches 46 mph. After paying $11,250 for the tiny car, the plan was simple - attempt a 100-mile road trip and see what happens. What followed was a loud, cramped journey that turned heads everywhere it went, with people laughing and pointing at the unbelievably small vehicle. Despite its size, the little car pushed forward mile after mile until something inside finally gave up. By the end of the trip, it proved one thing: sometimes the smallest cars create the biggest adventures.

Even when cruising on the highway, EV tires are rarely just “free rolling” like those on gasoline vehicles. Over time, that constant load can wear them out far faster than most drivers expect. For many EV owners, the result is a surprising reality - replacing tires far more often than they ever planned.
