This is a tad better than the pencil sketch of the F-14 EV, and very close to the prototype concept.

So what you are showing us is a 3 wheeled, enclosed electric motor cycle for 1 person; Seems like a lot of effort for something that is impractical and unsaleable. What is the reason for only 1 passenger capability?

It is all about economics, power requirements and range. Over 90% of the population of the world goes to work one person at a time. Over 70% of our driving miles are put on going to and from work. There will be a two seat version available for those who want to travel together. Being enclosed of course makes it perfect for any climate, and the canopy removes easily. This vehicle is designed for those who want fast reliable transportation year around, to and from work and other events. Do you realize how many more motorcycles/scooters/mopeds and other 2 or three wheeled vehicles are being registered every year? This one is dry and much safer under any condition. Also, the insurance will be less than 1/2 that of any 4 wheel vehicle. Anyway, have you ever seen any pure electric production car under 20k that looks this cool?

Everything you mentioned can ride 2 up except a dirt bike… If the person can only afford a single vehicle he/she would surely want at least 2 passenger capability.

I have been a car nut all my life and cannot think of a single passenger vehicle ever being produced for sale to the general public. The MORGAN Cycle Car, The Isetta Tandem etc were all 2 seaters. The Isetta Tandem had a similar layout with a cab forward design.

Suggest you investigate and evaluate your potential market realistically before you spend too much money.

Your design is sleek. The question to ask is “Would you buy one”

Good Luck what ever you decide.

I love it so much, I am building one, heck yes I would buy one! If others love it, they will too, if not they won’t. I suppose it is like everything we take a chance on, folks will love it or not. I do very much value your opinions and your views, as always, thank you!

How about a sketch as a tandem?
