Dynasty was bought by Karakoram Motors of Pakistan,[2] which in 2018 said it planned to produce it in Pakistan.[3]

Use of the vehicle was legal as a low-speed vehicle (LSV) in 47 US states and the Canadian province of British Columbia. A version of the car appeared on the American Sci-Fi Channel TV series Eureka. For the show's purposes, it is covered with photovoltaic cells to appear to be a solar-powered car.
