9k and up? thought this would be around 4k plus battery.

I LOVE gizmag video reviews!
Thanks guys. This thing looks like a BLAST. I love the concept of putting foam on the exterior of the vehicle. Not sure if I like the idea of a plastic-frame or the 3-wheeled design, but I love this thing as a concept. I'd totally scoot around in one.

Too expensive and it only seats one.

There is a good reason why Morgan 3-wheelers have the single wheel at the back. It's much more stable that way. Jeremy Clarkson showed us all on Top Gear what happens when you drive a 3-wheeler with the single wheel at the front!
Also, the luggage compartment at the back should be a seat, so that you can take a passenger.

Please call a good Italian designer ....like Pinifarina or Giugiaro ....now it is TERRIBLE .........

It's tricycle configured??? UNbelievable.
I thought it was clear to the sentient by now that if one wants to be able to turn corners at any speed, there would have to be 2 wheels up front. This design has failure designed in. Pity, that.

before we continue bashing the "trike-like" 3-wheel design, I think it would be revealing to see just how quickly this thing could take a turn and whether or not it lifts that front wheel in doing so.
I seem to recall a Nissan race-car that defied the "trike-like" properties. I'm not saying this eco-box (saying that with good intentions) is stable, I'm just saying we should all be asking for proof before bashing the design out of existence.

Loz, this thing is crying out for a SoundRacerV10 and a 600 watt stereo... Seriously, this vehicle makes a lot of sense. I have driven a BSA 650 through an Ottawa winter - snow drifts and all. 3 wheels and a cabin are good things and it's cheaper than the new small Harley. The gas version is best for me. I can't afford a second $14K car but this I can and it will fit in a pickup truck - including the SoundRacer V10.

I just stripped the batteries off of a delta (single front wheel) trike so I could transfer to a tadpole (single back wheel) after rolling the delta. Fortunately, the roll occurred at about 2 mph, so no major damage or injury. But if it happened at top speed of 45mph, they would have had to scrape me up with a stick and a spoon. Batteries were mounted up over the front wheel motor to hold it down, otherwise it would just break traction. With the nose light on this one, and appears to be only a single rear wheel drive, could be dicey starting on a steeper hill, like we have a lot of in Seattle, because the front will tend to get light and you will have torque steer that the steering will not be able to compensate. I do like the foam/compsite velo idea though.

The concept of an enclosed lightweight 3-wheeler with tiller steering and controls is a pretty ancient one- the famous British 'Invalid Carriage' designed for disabled people and supplied by the Government (always in a very 'institutional' shade of blue had a very similar layout. They were banned from British roads in 2003 as they were considered extremely dangerous.
That's not to say that this design, with more modern construction, will prove dangerous- although I think a 60mph top speed does sound on the high side.
