Today’s four-wheeled vehicles don’t generally turn over or lose control in a 30 mph cross wind either. Good luck with that Elios owners.

Morgan has been building 3 wheeled cars for about 100 years now. Do their vehicles turn over in a 30mph wind?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it did. Don’t expect top mileage at top end.

Can-Am Spyder motorcycle with a roof. And they can build it for under $10,000?

Somebody is pirating technology or cutting corners somewhere. Adiabatic engines are established technology.

Quit possible, but extremely unmarketable except to white guilted liberals living in San Fran. There are already three wheel car and kits on the market achieving 70 - 125- a novelty not a production car.

Quite a few ponied up the deposit of at least $100. It’s going to be interesting.

I saw a like-new example of one of those being driven around in Mission Viejo CA a few days ago.

I don’t care what it is or what it has, 3 wheels will be the deal killer for their sales.

Interesting post Vet.

Since I am not an engineer, can someone explain why this vehicle will
be 3 wheels instead of 4?

Does it have something to do with weight to engine size ratios?
