I really hope this gets built. Electric 3 wheeler

Here is the story:  http://jalopnik.com/this-planned-electric-three-wheeler-looks-fantastic-and-1818561069

I love the retro look.

I like the look too. It does feel like it came straight out of a Pixar movie.

Interesting, I could daily one of these. The removable auxiliary battery would be great for people who can't get power to their parking spot...also good for covert at-work charging

In reply to RossD :

Pixar or Fallout.  I really like the wire wheel one. 

GameboyRMH:

I was thinking the same thing about the battery.  My commute is @ 51 miles round trip so being able to charge in my office would be cool.

The 'next model' is the one that really catches my eye.  Overall, definitely MUCH more pleasant to look at than most trikes, and actually seems to do a decent job paying attention to the fundamentals of commuter trike design.

Cool pictures but I'd say it's just someone's pipe dream.  They claim the battery will be small enough to fit in that little briefcase on the floor inside the cabin ?

The main battery is under the hood - the suitcase battery looks like it would only offer a few miles of range on its own.

 This briefcase-mounted battery is designed to be easily removed and taken from the car for recharging. It acts as a supplemental auxiliary battery, either providing power for auxiliary systems or providing up to 40 km (24 miles) of additional range.

They said it has a total range of 100 miles, and 20 miles from the removable battery. So not sure if that's 100 miles from the main battery and then 20 from removable, or 80 from the main battery + 20 from the removable to get 100 total.
