It's a 3-wheeler. Two front one rear.

Lot's of pretty pictures, no specs.

I'm impressed (with the car, site design could use a lower coef of drag tho )

Here's the reservation page (that Turtle quoted) with more info.

No height, width, weight stats though. Odd that they wouldn't include those.

Looks like an aeroplane with no wings. Would not fancy driving it on anything rougher than a tennis court surace.

First they need to fire their web designer. Their website has so far at least two highly annoying behaviors. It causes the page to suddenly fill your entire screen, and then it runs like a VERY slow speed television commercial. Even on a highspeed connection, the damn logo alone takes a good 10 - 15 seconds to unfold. I could care less about artsy-fartsy animations, what I'm looking for are real photos and useful text. Bleh.

I never got past the first artsy-fartsy picture. At least the vehicle looks practical enough from a side-view, but I'm not going to wait through a bunch of those damn page-animations to find out more.

That website is an entry barrier. They really do need to fire their webpage designer, ASAP, and redo the whole site.

Actually for many the perfect po vehicle would be:

[Blacksmith]

Nice mini-14, folding stock, pistol grip, flash supressor. Cops would confiscate that in the blink of an eye.

Oh boy another gun thread.

If I had the money, I would buy one. However, at the moment i'm driving a car that cost me in total about $1500 for the car and repairs over the last three years. The mpg is about 40 mpg. It is an old second hand Opel Corsa.

Even if fuel prices double: my car is by far the cheapest to drive ...

Doubtlessly, these vehicle are going to do very well in a high oilprice environment.

In fact, they might be so sought after in five years that they might be selling at double or more of today's price, just like solar panels, which also will not sell at close-to-production-cost prices anytime soon. It's not just 'peak oil', its peak EVERYTHING, remember?
