From the limited amount of information available; I couldn't tell what format seating it offered...
Solo? Side by side? conventional bike-style? :dontknow:

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

RE: seating--I believe it was mentioned as side by side with a fold down seat in the back for storage.
I am thinking "very cozy" in there.

Rando lets not count them out yet this might become a verry real machine that warrents second looks from the in betweeners that are afraid of bikes and are looking for a thrifty enclosed sport trike.

Conventional bike seating. Fold down rear seat.

Like everyone, I think it's a great idea. But the price is less than a Rolex watch.
The Smart is around $16K.
I hope it works out. Just think of all the extra toys I could fit in the garage.........................

With the cost of a engine/transmission/front wheel drive unit the price seems very low. I would really like to see how they arrive at a five star safety rating. Not much for side impact safety.
But then I am to old to plan (think ?) that far ahead.

Another same old same old to add to the bunch
These things are breeding like rabbits and none of them distinguish themselves much one from the other function wise.
I'll be glad to develop something to give these a hiding.
Anyway heres this one

Glad some others came across this online as well.
I sure hope more things like this can really come to market... it's really what we need here in the USA. The target price does appear too low to be a profit maker. I think they'd sell just as well if they said they were $8,800.
I would seriously consider one of these. Heck... I wouldn't mind buying one sans motor and making an all-electric version out of it!

This has more potential!
This is definitely something I'd be far more interested in if I was going down that path.
At least it has the height in this concept to see through the traffic to check for upcoming issues and although its not exactly what I could/would make its seems like a good place to start from.

What's wrong with electric bro? It's the future and there's plenty of it being thrown at us every day from that big glowing ball above. Vehicles like the Volt are paving the way to the future of car technology.
If computer technology had grown at the snails pace of the internal combustion powered automobiles... you'd be lucky to own a Timex Sinclair personal computer for $10K......:roflblack:
Seriously though.... I find it just nuts that we're using the same 'fire moving a piston' technology of 120 years ago for most modes of transportation. If we had spent a few trillion on battery technology instead of wasting it in other moronic ways (don't get me started!)... you'd have an electric car today that could go 1,000 miles on a charge that would only take 30 minutes to charge and you could do it at your local 'gas' station.
That's the future I want to live in... where we have mostly electric vehicles on the roads and the smog creating gas guzzlers are a thing of the past.
