Before naming Your product always run it by a group of 15 year old boys, if they giggle, think again.
From what I remember of being 15, it doesn't exclusively have to be boys. When the phallus was inflating in our biology class video on human sex organs, the person yelling about it blowing up like a balloon certainly wasn't a boy.
For these purposes, men can also be referred to as “boys” /s

At the beginning of February [2024], ElectricBrands filed for insolvency under self-administration at Darmstadt Local Court - as we reported. Accordingly, the company worked on achieving a complete restructuring of the company. This ultimately also affected the XBus modular e-transporter, the small XBus S variant and the Microlino market companion Evetta. However, as we are now reading and hearing from the industry, that's it for the light electric vehicles. Electric Brands did not respond to our inquiries.

It's a shame that no car company would buy the remnants of this. They had some cool designs.
Humanity was a mistake
Here's a recent article, in German, but can be translated to English. I don't care what it's called. It looks like a great multipurpose EV camper, hauler, whatever. 15,800-28,800 euros.

you can call it "give the driver backshots" I don't care, that van looks amazing and I want one.
Alas, it appears the company has gone insolvent. If so can we get the 'blueprints'?
FOSS/H* camper vans, I'm in!
:(
that's why we can't have good things
That's really very old. They renamed it XBUS. Which of course has zero sexual connotations.
Just 20 HP? Is the golden armour out yet?
If this is supposed to be an urban vehicle, that seems enough
I just now realized, what that means
sigh
Unzips
I want to ride it.
20 health points? We live in matrix
Grab the door handle too hard and it's totaled. I'd say my car has maybe 250 health points. That's even counting the rust and the broken plastic clips!
It's survived being sideswiped - 150 damage, healed by using aftermarket panels and spray paint. Permanent -5 beauty debuff though.
It does have a curse (weakness to head gasket failure) though. But that hasn't killed it yet!
