A: The arm design keeps all four wheels in contact with the ground at all times, which prevents the E-Spider from flipping over.
Q: How is the E-Spider different from a regular car?
A: There are no foot pedals. There is a button on the steering wheel to make it go faster and a lever to slow it down. The driver has to turn the steering wheel a lot tighter to make it turn.
