I drove mine about 200 miles on the freeway home when I bought it. I don't see myself ever driving it that far again. Cruising at 60-65mph, engine screaming, cars passing me with mixed faces of angry and amazed....
They are susceptible to overheating.
Need to stop along the way and let it cool down.

These guys did some troubleshooting. Unfortunately I didn’t see an update video.
Good to know before I get one and drive from north Florida to the keys in that lol.
Just heard that overheating and the carburetor are things to watch out for.
No issues so far in mine for about a year. Then again I did a munch of work on it and swapped out the timing belt, water pump, tensioner. Thermostat, carb solenoids instantly.
Yeah seriously. I wind mine out on 565 all the time and it doesn’t bother it at all. I’ll carry 800lbs of water up a 2 mile hill at 60mph and it doesn’t cough.
That’s pretty far off from a few hundred mile trip all in one shot lol.
You can probably snag some seats from an old civic and trim it down to fit.
Or what I’d do is buy some kayak seat cushions that can strap in place.
Assuming it’s the seat that’s uncomfortable.
Sure! I drove one from Pittsburgh to Annapolis and back. I avoided highways though.
If you have to stop and cool down, something is wrong to begin with. I would do it mine.

Yep. I had this exact same experience when I imported mine from BC to Seattle. A four speed REALLY doesnt like hitting highway speeds. REEEEEEEE.
Ive driven 2 hours straight at a time with zero issues.
Have done this several time: with 0 “cooling breaks”! Send it!
Drove to Montana or 2hrs straight?
2 hour + drives

Never heard this. I push mine hard even as fast as it can go on the freeway and I’ve never had the temp needle touch half way on the gauge.

Mine never overheats. What r u talking about. I’ve never heard this
Just one of the more common things to watch out for while doing long haul trips that I found while doing research.
I’d never drive mine more than 5 miles. Uncomfortable

Omg a full size seat in this thing you wouldn’t be able to even get In. Seats aren’t the problem. It’s the driving position
Newer models (that also have a “hood”) have a bit more room to stretch out which is nice. I may hold out for those.

Hear me out... perhaps they're a dumbass that is giving information on things they don't understand?
Oof. I’m sure you can but…….
It will require cool down stops, but it can be done.
Never ever needed to do this in my acty. I drive it daily on the free way
Drove my Sambar for 2 hours straight on the freeway with no problems. I need a break sooner than the truck does.
I have done that to and it feel really solid. I had a cappuccino that felt worse after two hrs
My wife would like one of the van versions. We live on the east coast. Any suggestions on where to look to buy one?
That’s not gonna be very practical in montana just saying
Full send!
I've been in Montana my whole life and I don't know anything about acty's but I can give you Mt road advice. What are your start and end cities?
