If rattlesnakes weren't a protected species we could catch them and process the oil. Instead they are selling emu oil for aches and pains. Here in Upstate NY a local plant produces drivetrain parts for Polaris ATVs. We have hundreds of former aircraft workers to build uni-bodies from aluminum in empty buildings. You don't do 200,000 units overnight. How many companies started as small specialty outfits? What are the demographics of potential buyers? Design a product people need and want that is a significant improvement over what is available. Vehicles are about convenience and lifestyle choices. There is a reason why mini-vans and Corollas are so popular. The streamlined e-bike may soon join the list as a cost effective commuter/recreational vehicle especially as more bus lines add bike racks to the buses. The three wheeled motorcycle/car concept keeps coming up but never seems to take hold, much like the flying car. A safe, warm, and comfortable scooter that gets 150 mpg makes the trikes obsolete.
