I like it, but a couple of things they aren't telling/showing us, is how many cc's / top speed / how many sec to pass at 40 to 60 mph / and need a interior pic of the seating position. If they are good answers, I think they'll have something. But we have the open 3 wheelers (2 for/1 rear) on the road now and they don't get that kind of mpg, so it leaves me to wonder about the power.

Reminds me of a t-Rex that's fully enclosed. Essentially a 3-wheeled motorcycle.

There's a debate going on in the U.S.A. over what's a motorcycle and what isn't. Where 2/3 wheelers have been the norm , it's getting to be more technical now with the enclosures and such, the AMA is stating for now that the straddling of the seat should be part of the def', and being a open vehicle. time will tell where this is going.

They showed this on the news today.... said production is set to start sometime in the next 18 months. It's fwd, roll cage around composite panels, top speed of 109mph, and will be tested like a 4 wheel vehicle on crash tests etc. They had a test mule that a news person sat in & he said it was comfortable to sit in.

109 top end sounds pretty good considering the mpg it gets, and for the price.
