Seems more like a souped up three wheel motorbike to me?

Got to sit in a demo one several months ago. Even now I think they are still short over 100 million to start production and that is just the financial obstacle. They have a bunch of other things to overcome

It is a great concept and very different. No rear window and tandem seating. Front seat fine, sporty feel, OK back seat. Can’t imagine a long trip with my wife that way. Also, I think they are still working through the state by state ‘motorcycle’ designation.
