Traveling down rough and bumpy roads

[UnkyMurch]

The videos show the Aptera cruising down smooth roads, but I'd like to see what the rider feels while going over bumpy roads, road with patches, and even pot holes or even a set of railroad tracks, the kind of road surfaces we have.

Got's to agree... the front suspension seems to have decent travel (range), but I wonder about the back suspension and it's compliance over rough roads. This is probably something Aptera is working on right now, finding the right combination of shocks and springs to give a comfortable ride while still providing secure handling. Suspension design is a science in itself, and a tough one to master.

Oh yeah... good shocks and springs are expensive. The best riding and handling shocks (Bilstein?) may be beyond the budget of the Aptera.

Its not exactly what you are looking for, but the video of the Mk0 test vehicle shows it going thru a drainage gutter in the road. The car seems to handle the bump in the road quite well.

The video is listed under the name "Aptera Mk0 Test Drive Video"

I wonder if the aptera has anykind of sway bar or anti-roll system?
