Elhigh- Thanks for the good words. We're working on lesser models, the cheapest one should be priced under $2900. This is a hand built, one of a kind machine, there's nothing else like it. Try googling "electric trike" and see what comes up, nothing but big, delta style trikes with hub motors. Our trikes use LiPolymer, AC motors, and our controllers weigh less than a pound and can handle surges over 10,000 watts. There's really no comparison.

The trike is designed to keep up with traffic, and I've found that drivers show me much more respect then they do on my bicycle, mainly because their eyes are glued and their route is locked. I've logged over 3,000 miles in NC and PA, with no problems, a streak that will hopefully continue, God willing.

They are very aerodynamic, I'm continually amazed miniscule power consumption at high speeds.

Christ- Stop by anytime, Boone is a great place to visit regardless, just don't move in, we're running out of room.
