All that effort and he has only sold 10 in a year .... that's a shame

I agree that is a shame....maybe threewheeler enthusiast are shrinking in the kitcar scene ? who really knows ? but it is very strange and sad that only 10 people bought this kit.

If the company has gone under having made 10 sales in a year then their pricing or business plan was wrong from the outset. 10 sales in a year for a new project in such a niche market would be pretty good, - one place they definitely went wrong in my opinion was in going for the 'Busa engine - entirely unnecessary in such a light vehicle, adds massively to the cost & probably scares the pants off most people, tho' I don't understand the comment from an owner saying 0-60 in less than 4 seconds - surely at that power & weight should be below 3 secs surely? Maybe just can't get the power on the floor with one drive wheel?

I feel it would have a much wider appeal if it was sold as a cheap commuter vehicle, with a much smaller highly economical engine, but would need such sophistications as a heater to have any mass appeal.

Does anyone actually know what has happened to the company & the jigs/moulds etc. I don't recall seeing anything come up on Ebay which is where most of these projects finish up?

Now THAT would be an interesting concept!

Not ugly, but not a pretty car IMHO - I realise it's weather proof but there are a good few much better looking reverse trikes out there....

The website now lists that it's an electric trike - not sure on the range.

~10Kwh battery

390kg, I'd estimate 60-100miles depending on how efficient it is.

Not really. The original project failed. The new project is new, isn't it?

Still a business, just not made anything for a long time, my sister has all the molds and jigs.
