Within just the past week, we've told you about the VM45, Quadvelo and Velocity electric-assist quadcycles. If you'd like something a little less pedal-car-like, however, you might want to check out the Indimob e-trike.

Manufactured by a Milan-based company of the same name, the Indimob features an aluminum delta trike frame (meaning it has the single wheel in front) which buyers can opt to have partially covered with a carbon fiber monocoque body.

It utilizes a 5-speed gearbox along with a 250-watt Bosch CX motor that delivers 85 Nm (63 lb ft) of torque, augmenting the rider's pedaling power up to a top assisted speed of 25 km/h (16 mph).

Battery range reportedly varies from 40 km/25 miles (heaviest payload, highest level of motor assist, single 625-watt battery) all the way up to 140 km/87 miles (lightest load, least assistance, two batteries).

The trike rolls on one 20-inch front wheel and two 26-inchers in the rear, all of which are equipped with hydraulic disc brakes. A suspension fork and two shocks beneath the seat help smooth out rough rides. It's also equipped with LED head- and tail lights.

Buyers can choose between five models: Naked (no body) in one- and two-seat configurations, Coupé (carbon body) with one or two seats, and the single-seat cargo-platform-equipped Indicargo.

Weight ranges from a claimed 65 kg (143 lb) for the base Naked up to 85 kg (187 lb) for the two-seater Coupé. Pricing likewise starts at €6,172 (about US$6,792) and tops out at €10,246 ($11,275) before accessories.

Nice setup. Compact for a 2 person. At 250 watts you'll not be climbing any hills though.
Is too bad the passenger can't contribute somehow. I don't have that kind of money to spend on such a vehicle but it sure looks nice.

Why do people continue to put so much into tikes, they are inherently unstable and this wouldn't be worth the price considering their handling. Now if it were a reverse trike that would totally change the safety element and give a driving experience worth checking out.
