I also really wonder what, beside the engine, really is going to make this unique vis-a-vis Chinese imitation trikes...especially considering there's nothing exceptional/patentable/worth-patenting in my mind about the shape.
It really reminds me a lot of this modified Metro concerning features, efficiency, and overall aerodynamics (cdA).
I agree with many here that I have my doubts it will reach production, especially considering how many times the release date has been pushed back: it's a good basic idea (cut the surface/drag area on a car in half) with IMO a clumsy execution so far. |
Cd isn't great, but the thing is the surface area. The CDA is great being so small.
And stop complaining! If they made it perfect, what would we get to do to 'em?!
