Curious to know either way..
That chassis, although it most certainly uses the base, will be extensively changed. Not just a matter of bolting in a battery and motor and calling it a day.
They explain in the write up that the battery is long and skinny to keep the seating position low. Using a "normal" EV chassis would not do that.

So how many here will run out and buy one?
