3 wheelers

Created April 21, 2008, at 4:30 pm by Shines

There seem to be a number of 3 wheel concept vehicles I've seen. BMW (CLEVER Concept) for example has one. These car/motorcycles have to get decent fuel economy. They may not be hybrid in the sense of engine technology. But they could sure be considered hybrid in the sense of a cross between a car and a motorcycle. Certainly they would be more 'hybrid' than the smart for 2 (which is close to being a 4 wheel motorcycle.)
I would certainly be interested in a 3 wheel vehicle (a motorcycle with a passenger shell) that would let me get to and from work more efficiently and in the rain (here in Seattle) without getting wet.

Actually, the Aptera is not available at all yet. Like with a potential great EVs and PHEVs, there are people with good ideas but converting good ideas into products is very difficult. I hope Aptera makes it along with a host of others.
