Because of the heat shielding - so you can't see a thermal print of it when it is running - and where the batteries had to be to balance the vehicle - some things are compromised on the 'standard' version - that is why the 30".

If you aren't worried about the thermal print, or running it on batteries - we can almost snorkel this thing... the engine bay is where the passenger would normally sit in a regular vehicle.

It is only 58" wide... very narrow. Great for running it in small towns and cities with very narrow steets/alleys.
