Why do they always get in the "Disabled suitable" bit in early with these 3-wheelers?

I can't help but drop in here for a moment just to say.....

I am heavily involved in electric vehicles, I was editor of Plugged In Magazine till recently and right now rather than simply writing about this sort of machine we're furiously building one. All will be revealed in a few weeks time but it's great to see you guys discussing it all and hearing your thoughts.

The main problems we are having to be brutally honest are time and money, everything else is possible and we hope to be demonstrating this very soon. driving

Yup, that looks pretty good, but I like the other one better.

Looking forward to your new vehicle......can you anticipate the look or configuration of the vehicle?

Qudos: we all wish you the very best and a discount for doing Market Research for you!

I think anyone has to be carefull about the style here. Too zaney and people will laugh and walk away.

In the UK the Smart car is a rare sight even now. go to Italy and they are everywhere, you can even hire them for hols or city visits from airports.

The Lotus style is about as wild as you can tolerate maybe; would a 50 year old woman buy one? My 23 year old daughter might.

That door though takes space to get out of the car, this design we started on is a great solution, though harder to manufacture.
