Finally a trike that makes sense - and it looks good.
This is the first trike I've seen that appeals to me - and 100+MPG

And you can build it yourself

Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I was just thinking the same thing, very unfortunate! It's a bit like Citreon's C5...
However, is it just me or does electric rear wheel and combustion engine front wheels make perfect sense? No messing about having to get the two lots
of power to the same driven wheels, no fancy computer control, just keep them deliberately separate.

seen it before and yes the styling is now a bit dated, but if you look at how it's built the styling is totally up to you as like all these
'carved body cars' you can make it look however you want it to look. This is very similar to how some of the wild hotrods were
constructed, quick easy and very light
Looks fun

light it may be........but 'quick' and/or 'easy'?............in relative terms maybe compared to other ways of manufacturing
the body - but in terms of getting out in the garage and making something that looks good and is the same on both sides etc etc........hmmmmmmm

Shame they got the rotation direction wrong on the rear tyre.

I like it, I'd love a machine like that.
As the rear is leccy and the front diesel, does that make it a 3x3?

I think it would go pretty well with a small VAG or French Turbo Deisel mounted to an Audi 6 speed box, or mounted transversely which means one could
get rid of the ugly nose bump - and it would still be very economical.

pretty much what i want to build ......... JUST for going to work , minus the electric bit .
if its got an engine , thats what will be powering it , next bit is LPG or diesel ?
Microcar bits are quite cheap on ebay - but i dont want to limit my top speed with a pokey 500cc diesel ......
oh and it wont really look like that , honest.

The "bonnet" really doesn't help the styling, but other than that it's pretty good IMO.
