EcoBill, are you looking for a car kit that somebody else manufactures, or are you considering manufacturing a car kit for sale to the public, or are you thinking about building yourself a one-off custom car of your own design? I know "kit car" means different things to different people, sometimes it's just generic for not-a-factory-built-car, I'm not sure where you're headed here (and thus not sure how to answer) but I'm sure I'm loaded with opinions, whichever it is.
i would like to build one my own, make it sustainable as possible and "eco-friendly". Its pretty much for myself -- make it aerodynamic, make it have good mpg-use a renewable type of energy to power it...maybe a bio-diesel hybrid? or electric? and make a charge station, make it cheap to build and if ppl actual end up liking it, them possibly manufacture it in future


iv been seeing alot of 3 wheel designs and more flexiblity as far as designing and getting it on the road(since its considered a motorcycle)
