I wouldn’t drive one, but I think there’s probably a market for it. More power to him!

I wonder what keeps it upright when the gyros aren’t running.

[Cronos]

I want one -- this would be great for a commute in the city, but isn't it similar to

Two wheels and all electric? For a “measly” twelve grand? No sale.

I would prefer bubble cars over something like this. At least you get three wheels (four on some models) and an internal-combustion engine that can run at highway speeds (if you go with two cylinders that is). Back in the day, you would not pay ridiculous prices for cars like that; but given today’s bizarre market, even supposed “Smart” cars cost more than four-seaters.

I would rather get a CanAm and play around with some form of removable convertible top.

BTW I own three bikes, a Star 1300, Honda CX650 and a CX500.
A Ural bike with its rear drive wheels both powered would be another candidate.

This isn’t something I would want a greyhound bus or a large semi rig to pass me on the highway at high speeds.

A good idea but limited to Utopia of The Fantasyland.

Check out the Monotracer. The idea has been executed on for over 25 years.

The Monotracer is available in both gas and electric versions, but it doesn cost a bit more than $12k.

"While lying on his back one day in the shop, the 500-pound chassis hung above him. It started to teeter, then fell, barely missing Kim’s face. His life spared, Kim had his 'aha' moment."

$12K for an idea someone thought of in a moment while almost being killed for not adequately supporting a vehicle they were under?!?

I'll pass.

More pricey, but this looks a tad bit better than that guy's smart-car design.(and it's a two seater)

Death-trap

[Ditter]

There was something like this on the market in about 1955 (can’t think of the name right now). I was 15 and out riding my horse one day. I stopped at the dealership, tied my horse to a fence and they let me drive one home to pick up my mom and take her for a test drive, by my self. Imagine that happening today!

[skinkinthegrass]

IIRC...the GERMANS (late '80s); had enclosed carbon-fabric motorcycle body that could really
haul (@$$ :) two ppl. based on a very sleek BMW 2000cc chassis.. 120mph/200kph..gyro-enabled
hvac..communication equipped.

[RandallFlagg]

Meh!


I'll take one of these.

The commute won be so easy for them when my SVT Raptor rolls over it during a simple lane change...

Just bring back the Nash Metropolitan.... 4 cyl. two seater 45 miles mpg.

How are you going to haul plywood with that?

I figure if I can’t haul a full sheet of plywood then the vehicle isn’t worth driving
