Quotes

"A caring invention for urban people".

"Smite is not a car. Smite is a completely new city vehicle. Smite is registered as a motorcycle (or moped), but still in many ways has the same functions as a small car."

"We, the team behind Smite, don’t have a background from the car industry, which has proven a huge advantage when in progress. Vehiconomics share few similarities with the traditional car industry. It would have been difficult to do what we do, if we had been schooled to perceive the world as customary within car industry. Smite is produced with alternative techniques, made in completely different ways, and with a lot of mind."

"Cars as they look today, are too energy-consuming at all stages, too expensive and poorly adapted for their proper use."

"Cars weigh 1500 kg, carry 5 people and handle speeds over 200 km/h. In actual use most cars transport 1.2 persons and rarely run above 50 km/h in urban traffic. This is a poor solution! It can be done much better, so we decided to create Smite!"

"We wanted to create a vehicle that had as little impact on the outside world as possible, one that was really suited for its intended use."

"Smite is very light. And less weight will always mean less energy, and less energy spent is more energy left."

“A light vehicle will do fine with a really small engine. Combined with a CVT it’s possible to design a system that will run at pretty much full power all the time, realizing the full potential of a combustion engine!”

"Our aim was, and still is, to create efficient personal transportation using new materials and technologies. Without the restrains of customary conventions and industrial rigidity."

“The sum of simplicity and efficiency equals rationality. Despite its pleasant looks, Smite is and will, in all its shapes, always be rational”

"Our first Smite is inspired by a great design. We are proud to admit that, although it is different from Smite in every detail, shape, proportion and technical solution, the Messerschmitt KR 200 was, and always will be, an achievement to envy and strive for."

"Smite will ultimately be developed by its owners."

”Smite is strong and smart, but also light and very caring." 

"Owners can decide for themselves how they want their Smite to look, there are virtually no limits." 

"Smite is produced using methods and techniques that are otherwise found only in extreme road vehicles and aircraft."

“Smites’ body is a shatterproof plastic sign, allowing designers, advertisers and Mr. Smiths to come up with anything they like.”
