Kinetic Luna

Harry, who is part Indian, has abandoned his attempt to cycle around Northern Territory and has elected to do it by moped instead.

...

Reporter: The local community wishes you well on this expedition. But we are curious why you chose, out of all possible motorcycles, the Kinetic Luna.

Harry: Many reasons. There are long distances between filling stations. On this I can do 200 ks on a tankful… My ancestors are from India and this is a moped which has been made in India for forty years. It isn’t difficult to fix if it breaks down.

Reporter: I see tools on the ground already.

Harry: I just assembled it.

Reporter: You’ve tested it?

Harry: Around the back lawn.

Reporter: And a final question: what is the horsepower?

Harry: One horsepower. Hills are no small problem for it but it has pedals and there aren’t many hills in Northern Territory.

Less is more. In this case understatement (we are curious = we are incredulous) and litotes (hills are no small problem) mark both the reporter’s questions and Harry’s answers. We might also note that the name of the scooter could be lessened to Lunatic!
