Retro Tech Tuesday: 1920's Folding Electric Car

While electric cars are slowly making their way onto the highways here in 2011, we still have precious few folding cars, let alone folding electric cars! If only we would've all rallied behind this gem in the 1920's... It definitely has a bit more assembly than the Sinclair C5 we looked at last week, but dang if that little car doesn't have some moxie:

Electric cars in general where way more popular back in the days then most people realize. It's really a shame that the development of those cars just stopped and everyone switched to cars that ran on gas. Just Google "newtons car" for one of the first electric cars that dates back to somewhere around 1830, I believe.
