The controls are just like a standard automobile. That's my major draw. Nobody sells a car in the states that only weighs 400lbs and has a 250cc engine, this fills that role.

If it floats your boat go ahead and get it.
$4000 is getting closer.
MC-95-250 Reverse Trike KANDI USA KD 3-wheel Trike Scooter: Extreme-Scooters -buy online store
KANDI VIPER 250cc Motor Trike Tricycle Car Automatic+Reverse KD-250MD
Cheaper there.
Anywho, 3 wheels aint really a car either, its a niche, perhaps one some like but a 3 wheeler can never go head to head with a 4 wheeler in the market.
My insight at the same cost does the same MPG, perhaps better as the MPG listed for the rig is not EPA.
That said I would own an Elio (if it were sold) and I likely would be willing to own the Kandi as well, if it was used, cheap and reliable :-)

I doubt you have driven a moped style CVT driven car before, moped maybe, snowmobile maybe but not a full car.
I will take the aggravation of shifting anyday over the maintenance of keeping a classic snowmobile CVT running perfectly over 200,000 miles.
