Gridcars EVE, an electric trike.

Hi everyone,

This is a project I have the pleasure of working on. It's a small company situated in South Africa that is focused on electric vehicles, mostly of the variety that would slot in underneath your average city car. Keeping things in the three-wheel realm also excludes their vehicles from a number of rules / laws that four wheeled vehicles would require, as I am sure is similar in many parts of the world.

Most recently I have helped them on their 'halo' vehicle and defining a look for this tandem-seat three-wheeler.

So far it'll have in-wheel motors up front, and batteries in the floor and the third chassis iteration is currently being built up and will hopefully start undergoing test-runs sooner rather than later.

For a faired version however, an investment would be needed from external sources.

But, I thought I would share it here. I hope all that I have gleaned from the Aerodynamics thread will meet approval here

For those on Facebook, go here as it's the most complete page of theirs:
