EZOne3 Electric 3-Wheeler Kickstarter

I started working on this EZOne3 about 8 years ago.
The car is now being finished, and I plan to launch a kickstarter campaign in a couple months to start production of a kit to build them.

The real key to any car is the body, and the primary reason for a kickstarter is to raise the funds to pay for making the molds to produce a lightweight and inexpensive body. In addition, I will be producing 'version two' of the car that will use Prius components and have almost everything wireless and electronically controlled, for example, no mechanical steering, which frees up space significantly in a car this size, and should make room to carry two persons.

I will reveal the completed body in a week or so, but wanted to get started on getting some feedback on the plan. The questions are mostly how to structure the kit. I'm thinking I will offer just the body itself, no chassis or drivetrain.
And maybe just the drivetrain also?
Any feedback appreciated. Just getting started on the marketing, so excuse the lack of details and polish, but have updated my website after 8 years of not having touched it! Nimble Motorsports Home of the EZOne3 Electric Kit Car

The current 'version one' of the car without body or batteries as shown weighs in at 490lbs using the Geo Metro components.



Here I am taking it for a spin:
