Aman Sadana's Bee Mobile Aims to Pollinate Roadways

— February 25, 2011 — Autos
Bee-lovers and bee-haters are going to have to make amends if the Bee Mobile is ever going to have a shot at existence. Designed by Aman Sadana, the Bee Mobile is a fierce two-wheeled pod-car that looks every bit as aggressive as an Africanized honey bee.

I'm not the biggest bee fan myself, but I can't think of a better insect or animal to directly design a car after. Despite my tepid support for the Bee Movie, I am all in on the Bee Mobile.
