Isn't that a Drag Boat Capsule with wheels>>>?

I think the Jetson's stopped my house by the other day in one of those.

I do admire thier initiative to look forward to alternative forms of transportation.



all these voices in my head,,,, so many opinions.

Click the "read more" part for the rest of the article. They say it will retail for between $25,000 and $45,000.

Pretty cool looking but pretty expensive.

We'll be seeing more of things like this as the world tries to go to all electric vehicles. Motorcycles & trikes are not required to meet the DOT safety regs (air bags, crash test, roll over protection etc.) so the trike is a natural for a plug-in electric vehicle from a small manufacturer. Wonder how the "electric grid" would respond to a few million vehicles plugged in to charge overnight. Of course the anti-pollution crowd praise electric vehicles ignoring the fact that the majority of our electric power is generated by coal fired power plants.

You've hit the proverbial nail on the head, Whopper, I've been trying to get them to see that for many years and the enviro-loonies won't allow nuclear plants.

My local indy shop has a similiar 3 wheeler/airplane looking contraption similiar to this one shown. This one however is from the seventies and is powered by a sportster engine. They are currently restoring it. It has a removable cockpit glass enclosure. Im told there is only like 3 of these things left. Maybe I'll snap some pics and post. Botz
