Cool Wind's Tempest Utility Speeder Vehicle

Cool Wind recenlty released its newest model of the Tempest Utility Speeder onto the speeder market in the Servais Sector. This speeder was designed to be a medium utility vehicle for the general public, capable of being used in a multitude of roles. The Tempest has a large cab, with comfortable seating for up to six people, and provides decent headroom and mobility. It comes equipped with a completely sealed environmental system, to provide its passengers with total comfort in any type of atmosphere or climate. In addition to this, the Tempest is equipped with a tow-bar, power winch (able to pull up to 1.2 tons), and an audio-visual entertainment system, standard. For a few additional credits, one can have their personal computer system installed, along with a droid-brain autopilot, polarized and tint-variable plasteel windows, or even a fully environmental (enclosed) cargo bed.

Consumer reports state that the Tempest is a very sturdy vehicle, and extremely capable of performing most tasks an owner could possibly concieve of. Still, some feel that the designers neglected the vehicle's powerplant and frame, feeling that the design was slightly underpowered, and could have been designed with a higher cargo capacity. However, most experts feel that the Tempest is a steal at its current price, and is destined to sell quickly. Overall, the Tempest is of a medium quality design and construction, with its focus being primarily on the consumer's comfort and needs of such a vehicle.
