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.

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?

Actually they seem to be exploiting a loophole in the certification of cars. Being 3 wheels, it’s considered a motorcycle to EPA, so the big car companies don’t get any EPA credit for selling those types of vehicles. The motorcycle manufacturers don’t care about that market either, as it’s too much like a car.

So we’ll see how they do. It could be very interesting.

PR News Wire is sometimes a pretty good source. Thanks for cruising it.

Wasn’t the Wankel engine invented 60 years ago? What ever happened to it!

We are very interested in buying one but will not put up any money on a product that is not in production. They keep moving the production date back which I find worrisome.

IIRC, VW has a diesel powered car that gets around 99mpg.
