3 wheeled spacelike electric car goes into production 2009
« on: February 19, 2009, 05:40:12 AM »
Have a look at this electric car that goes into production still this year:

Hopefully the price will come down to around 10.000 US$ only...

Then it would be nice.

The venture one seems like a wild ride as well.

The complex body shape will be difficult and expensive to build
and its aerodynamic benfits only significant at higher speeds.

How do you fit it into a parking space?

Because the US of A government want you to pay TAX on the fuel, why make a car that they cannot levy a huge TAX on. In there eyes it does not make sense. They really don't want it do they?

They had 3 wheeled cars in the seventies that got 75mpg.....


If you really think about it, the predicament in which the world now finds itself, can be largely attributed to the college educational system, large corporations, and their framers.


Framers....hmmm....good pun, even if it wasn't consciously intended.


We've been framed.

You can't see behind you. There is that lance which will kebab any pedestrians in the way. It looks like
glass reinforced plastic. If there is any sort of crash, it would be cheaper to buy a new one.

I wonder if you can buy the guts and rolling stock without the body.

Small issues with today's tech.....although yeah, in a crash, insurance would probably total it.  like most cars these days.

Whatever idiot designed this car has not learned the lessons of history.

The car is a cross between the BMW Isetta and the Messerschmitt (later Heinckel) Kabinenroller, both "bubble" cars manufactured in Germany in the 1950's

They were known as Schlaglochsuchgeraete (Pothole Detection Devices) Whatever hole or unevenness in the road the front wheels miss the back wheel catches. They rode like a jackhammer on anything other than the best, newly surfaced roads.

In accidents, even minor ones, they proved to be death traps.

Neither model (the German ones) lasted long.
